Is it possible to have more than one tunnel request per forked
child?

I may have misunderstood how the code works (in which
case my apologies) but I thought what happened was that the
ssh server forks on receiving a connection, and the tun_open
is done by the child with the uid specified (in this case
it has to be root for tun_open to work, but that's how I
verified what was calling tun_open). My understanding was
that each ssh connection could only receive one -w
tun/tap request. The static char * is in effect local
to the child (& thus connection) concerned.

Have I missed something here?
