ssh forwarding question

[Sina Bahram]

Yup, I'm root, and I believe it's actually 1024.

Although, that example was for simplicity's sake ... I am actually using
high port numbers.

Take care,
Sina

Are you doing the port forwarding as root, or a normal user?  This is
important, because as a normal user, you cannot forward to ports below 1000.
These are known as "privileged ports," and only root can forward to them.
Thus, as a normal user, you would have to forward port 80 to some other port
over 1000.
