             Bug #: 1936
           Summary: -A command not available from ~C
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.8p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: mindrot2 at misc.lka.org.lu


In an active ssh session, it is possible to escape to an internal
command processor using ~C.
This may be used (mainly) to set up port forwarding.

However, it would be useful if it were also possible to switch on (or
off) agent forwarding this way.

Indeed, for security reason, many users prefer not to allow agent
forwarding most of the time, but may occasionally see a need to ssh
from the current server to another server during the session using
agent forwarding. Right now they have to open a new session to do so.
