Equivalent ssh_config setting for "ssh -N"

[Volker Diels-Grabsch]

Hi all,

Thanks for the quick responses.  So it seems there is really no
ssh_config option for -N.

So how should such an option be named?  I propose:

    default  ==  ExecRemoteCommand yes
    -N       ==  ExecRemoteCommand no

Does that make sense?


Regards,
Volker
