hi, I discovered ssh option of dynamically allocating a port on reverse forwarded connections (option: -R)
If I invoke ssh this way: ssh -R 0:localhost:22 remote_ssh_server ssh prints a debug message like: Allocated port 40454 for remote forward .... before it drops to the shell. Is there a way of querying the allocated port on the remote site to make it usable within scripts? For example to execute a command via ssh on the origin site in this case.
