[Sussex] Hello again

[Dominic Humphries]

Hi Paul,

I suspect the answer to your problem is to be found in the OpenSSH
Changelog, namely:

Changes since OpenSSH 5.5
=========================

Features:

 * Added a ControlPersist option to ssh_config

You're one release too soon to be able to use ControlPersist :(
