Recent versions of openssh support multiple connections through one
single authentication token (`master' connection)
My .ssh/config looks like this:
Host cvs-base
Hostname cvs.host
ControlMaster yes
ControlPath ~/.ssh/openbsd-mux
Host cvs-fast
ControlMaster no
ControlPath ~/.ssh/openbsd-mux
and I use something like this for a cvs script:
#!/bin/sh
CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVS_RSH
test -e $HOME/.ssh/openbsd-mux && exec cvs -z3 -d cvs-fast:/cvs "$@"
exec cvs -z3 -d espie@cvs.host:/cvs "$@"
No need for fsh or anything. Didn't this feature make it into portable
openssh ?
