ssh forwarding question

[Sina Bahram]

Hi Igore,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, this is OpenSSH, and it's not working because everytime I try to
actually access it via using whatever port I am trying to tunnel, I get the
following.

channel 1: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused 

Take care,
Sina

Hi. By 'its not working', what errors/what makes you determine the fact that
it's not working? The configuration you have supplied should work; the only
thing I think may be throwing the whole thing off is your -f option...I'm
not sure how authentication is handled when that option is used since I've
never tried it. Also, I assume you are using the Openssh version of Ssh? The
above assumes yes. Hth.
