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.

Greetings,
Joachim
