#27255: autossh defaults to using /usr/bin/ssh even with macports ssh installed --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: chiggsy@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: autossh --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Old description:
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 [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports- users/2010-November/022585.html the mailing list discussion] that prompted the filing of this ticket. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27255#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
