             Bug #: 1984
           Summary: Add Unix Domain Socket Forwarding
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.9p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: spam.sub.atomic.fusion at gmail.com


Requesting support for connections to/from UNIX domain sockets for the
-D,-L, and -R. The support for hosting sshd on domain sockets and
connecting to these would also seem beneficial.
Domain sockets offer great flexibility when compared with traditional,
port based sockets. The OS can offer filesystem based access controls,
rather than each application that uses the sockets having to implement
it's own authentication/encryption scheme.
My specific use case is to securely forward the domain socket used to
connect the Tor daemon and it's GUI controller, Vidalia. This way I
could elegantly control the Tor daemon running on a headless server on
my desktop.
A patch for OpenSSH4.7 is here:
