           Summary: Enable client multiplexing to fall back to enhance
                    transparency
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: OpenBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: e at molioner.dk


In order to use SSH client session multiplexing, one must manually set up a
ControlMaster which is rather annoying.

I suggest adding a TcpFallback flag which allows the client to fall back to a
regular TCP connection in case the ControlPath control socket doesn't exist.
Furthermore I suggest adding a way to let a ControlMaster ignore an existing
ControlMaster socket by simply becoming a client of it.

These two options should make SSH client multiplexing completely transparently.
