| I am not sure how you avoided collisions (network

| set StreamLocalBindUnlink yes and StreamLocalBindMask 0117
| in sshd_config. Then use UNIX groups with the group sticky
| bit set on the directory where the unix domain socket is
| made to allow multiple users access. The directory would be
| owned by that group while each user with access would be
| added to that group. It reduces some network overhead and
| is highly secure. I recently used this trick to connect a
| bunch of machines to a remote service through a jump host.
|
| Also, take it from someone who has been running services
| over port forwards for years. You want to set
| ClientAliveInterval and ClientAliveCountMax in sshd_config
| on the server (if you have not already). Users should be
| encouraged to set ServerAliveCountMax and
| ServerAliveInterval In ssh_config on their machines.
| Furthermore, it would be best if the tunnels were run by
| daemon tools and had ExitOnForwardFailure set as part of
| the command that is run. The ssh command used at the client
| side likely also should set -nNT. It is also good practice
| for the machines running ssh to have dedicated accounts for
| the tunnels such that their daemon tools scripts are
| essentially two lines, a shebang followed by exec setuiduid
| user ssh -i ...
|
| Finally, if people want to do very low overhead and highly
| secure setups, they should bind the services that they
| reverse forward to unix domain sockets locally and reverse
| forward the local unix domain sockets over ssh to remote
| unix domain sockets. They can use a file mode sticky bit on
| the parent directory to make the local Unix domain socket
| accessible by the ssh command running on its own user,
| which locks things down locally fairly nicely. A typical
| process running on the machine will not be able to talk to
| the reverse forwarded service thanks to the Unix file
| permissions. Lastly, using ed25519 or ecdsa ssh keys would
| make the initial connection process very quick compared to
| using RSA.
