 Sorry to send to the generic email, but I want to include additional
information in the openssh man page for ssh.  Specifically, the port
forwarding -L option, I would like to add that the usage: -L [bind
address:]port:host:hostport, the host is the hostname built AFTER the
connection is established.  Therefore, to forward a local port on your machine
to a remote machine through a firewall/etc., over a ssh tunnel, either use
localhost or * to ensure the connection is established on that machine.

It's a simple item, but it took me 3 days to troubleshoot a remote connection
through our firewall to a rdp application.

If you could put me in touch with the openssh man page maintainer, I would
appreciate it.

thanks,
Wes Byne
