That should read:

 - ssh -n -2 host $(print $((RANDOM % 255)) |tee /dev/tty) ; echo $?

   (with forced command="exit $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND" and RSA keys):

When this works you get two lines of output, the first being a number
0-254 and the second matching the first. When it doesn't work then the
second line is "255."
