On multi-hop connections, @value{tramp} does not use @command{ssh}
@code{ControlMaster}
In order to use the @code{ControlMaster} option, @value{tramp} must
check whether the @command{ssh} client supports this option. This is
only possible on the local host, for the first hop. @value{tramp}
does not use this option on proxy hosts.
If you want to use this option also for the other hops, you must
configure @file{~/.ssh/config} on the proxy host:

@group
Host *
ControlMaster auto
ControlPath tramp.%C
ControlPersist no
@end group
@end example
Check @command{man ssh_config} whether these options are supported on
your proxy host.
