autossh (1.4a-3) unstable; urgency=low Automatic (random) guess of the port has been introduced, this means you can invoke autossh without specifying -M . Backward compatibility is retained, you are free to use -M to force a specific monitor port or use autossh -- -M for passing -M to ssh. -- Filippo Giunchedi Mon, 08 Oct 2007 22:29:54 +0200
