Hi all,

please take a look at this initscript with readme that includes separate
system UID/GID at both server and client machines and a very restricted
authorized_keys entry:  
https://github.com/obfusk/autossh-init

IMO it eliminates at least some of the security concerns and it suits my
usecase (a server behind a poorly managed firewall needs to be accessed
via SSH, on init it connects an accessible server and creates an -R
localhost:X:localhost:22 tunnel).

It would be very convenient to have the system user/group and its
private ssh key created with package installation, maybe in a separate
package. In case you are willing to accept this but not to implement it,
I might send a patch. Thanks for considering.

Regards,
Pavel
