Description Richard Connon 2010-07-28 20:30:58 AEST 
Would be very useful to be able to create socket files for tunnels instead of just using ports. This way tunnels can be created on machines with many users without security concerns.

We don't support forwarding from/to unix domain sockets, but in the meantime you might be interested in the stdio forward mode added in OpenSSH 5.4:

ssh -W host:port server

Will connect stdin/stdout to host:port tunnelled via server.
