Hi Timo,

I notice that ssh has a configuration option that's useful for you.  
According to ssh_config(5), StreamLocalBindUnlink is used to remove the 
UNIX-domain socket file before creating a new one.  It defaults to no, 
so you want to set it to yes.  I don't know when this option was 
implemented, but it's not in version 6.6p1 and it is in version 7.2p2.

Regards,

David
