Package: openssh-client Version: 1:4.6p1-5 Severity: normal Hi,
Without a running ControlMaster, I get this desired behaviour: $ ssh nomeata.de echo test \; sleep 10 prints “test”, waits for 10 seconds and returns to the prompt $ ssh -f nomeata.de echo test \; sleep 10 waits for the connection to establish and then returns to the prompt. Then “test” is written across it, and the process sits in the background for 10 seconds. If I have a control master for the host running, both ways to run the command bevahe as the first: Even with “-f” ssh is not going to the background. I assume that the point at which -f takes effect is part of the connection opening code that can be skipped if a ControlMaster is present.
