Description

Looks like etch's openssh client doesn't support the ExitOnForwardFailure option. So either smuxi should not use it or check the openssh version first.

Only use the ExitOnForwardFailure option for the SSH tunnel if we are using OpenSSH >= 4.4p1. (closes: #145)

Used version on the frontend side:
ii openssh-client 4.3p2-9etch3 Secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh/rcp replaceme

On the internet I found this about the ExitOnForwardFailure option:
In earlier versions of OpenSSH, ssh does not terminate if port forwarding requests fail. Starting with OpenSSH 4.4p1, an ExitOnForwardFailure option is added so that ssh exits with a non-zero value if port forwarding requests fail.

So looks like smuxi can only use that option if OpenSSH is >= 4.4p1

Here a workaround to use OpenSSH from Debian/Etch with Smuxi 0.6.3:
Create ~/.config/smuxi/ssh-wrapper.sh:
#!/bin/sh

SSH_PARAMS=$(echo "$@" | sed 's/-o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes //')
echo "SSH_PARAMS: '$SSH_PARAMS'" 
ssh $SSH_PARAMS
Add this to your engine section in ~/.config/smuxi/smuxi-frontend.ini:
SshProgram = $HOME/.config/smuxi/ssh-wrapper.sh

(replace $HOME with the path of your home directory)
