Hi,
I'm little unhappy that OpenSSH server forwards connections while
running as root. Services what checks out using ident protocol complains
about me working as root [and for a good reason].
To change situation I see following ways:
1) for every port forwarding fork();setuid();forward|exec(netcat)
2) after authentication grab one pty;setuid();forward connections as
requested [is there client which opens more than one
interactive/forwarded connection?]
3) fool somehow ident server [how?]
I need your oppinions.
