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 [email protected]
