Fix unix_listener too long for Unix domain socket
Host *
ControlPath ~/.ssh/control/%C
ControlMaster auto
  • Problem: unix listener too long for Unix domain socket

  • Solution: mkdir ~/.ssh/control and modify ~/.ssh/config use the %C format instead of %r@%h:%p

  • More Detail: man ssh_config defines the %C format as 'a hash of the concatenation: %l%h%p%r'
