Package: autossh
Version: 1.4b-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

Since autossh ignores environment variables it is difficult to get
the ssh link to use a socks proxy.

So for example an ssh connection which needs to go through a socks
proxy could be started as
  $ tsocks ssh -f -q -N remote_host
However, replacing ssh with autossh does not work.

Regards,

Kapil.
