I really don't know. Let me clarify the issue. Specifically, this is what I'm seeing. On SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN TcpipServerChannel.doInit(Buffer) will call org.apache.sshd.common.io.IoServiceFactory.createConnector(). In the MinaServiceFactory implementation of createConnector() and createAcceptor() it will internally create a org.apache.mina.core.service.IoConnector or org.apache.mina.core.service.IoAcceptor but it does not pass in an executor so org.apache.mina.core.service.AbstractIoAcceptor will create a new executor.
The net effect of this is that with each SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN on TcpipServerChannel two thread pools are created. If you use Client.startRemotePortForwarding() and then repeatedly connect to the remote socket you will end up with a lot of thread pools. To work around this issue I created my own SSHD IoServiceFactory to pass in the Executor [1] [2] [3]. I believe this is working fine, but I'm now having a different issue with leaking sockets which I'll address on a different thread.
