Subject:	Re: BUG: ssh.exe ProtocolKeepAlives option broken
X-Virus-Scanned:	by amavisd-new-20030616-p7 (Debian) at neti.ee

|>Summary: Cygwin ssh.exe doesn't accept the 'ProtocolKeepAlives' option

|>Example:
|>C:\sshclient>ssh -o ProtocolKeepAlives=180 example.com
|>command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: ProtocolKeepAlives

|AFAICT, ProtocolKeepAlives is not mentioned in the manpage for ssh.
|So, this isn't a bug.

Indeed, it seems that it is not mentioned in the Cygwin ssh_config manpage.

However, that option should be supported according to the following 
Corinna Vinschen mail:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg00323.html

Btw, the ProtocolKeepAlives is a must for using ssh for port forwarding
behind a firewall that drops inactive connections.

float
