autossh defaults to using /usr/bin/ssh even with macports ssh installed

[chiggsy@…]

Autossh will autostart ssh on the monitor port, given by the -M option.

When a user has macports ssh installed, Autossh should use that preferentially over /usr/bin/ssh, which is currently the default.

To duplicate:

Install ssh via ports Install autossh via ports

autossh -M some_port user@host

In a different local terminal owned by the same user ps

/usr/bin/ssh will be seen.

Workaround is to use the AUTOSSH_PATH, but the default should be macports.
