Package: autossh
Version: 1.3-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Autossh doesn't handle -- properly when parsing commandling options. It
checks for and eats the first --, but it still parses the subsequent
commandline arguments.
Attached patch fixes this. Any arguemnts after -- are passed verbaitum
to ssh. This allows use of the ssh -M option when using autossh.
