#27255 closed defect

autossh defaults to using /usr/bin/ssh even with macports ssh installed — at Version 1

Reported by: chiggsy@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: Cc:
Port: autossh

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

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.

Daniel and Rainer raised some objections to this in ​the mailing list discussion that prompted the filing of this ticket.
