Indications were administratively prohibited either meant "AllowTCPForwarding" was no in the sshd_config file on machine B or the target machine (machine C) was not being found. It would surprise me if one cannot do ssh -N -L 8080:C:22 B but perhaps the name, C, is not being resolved to an IP address. Could you try the actual IP address for machine C in the command? Otherwise, I fear the problem is AllowTCPForwarding on machine B. -- Rick Sewill tel:+1-218-287-1075 mailto:rsewill@xxxxxxxxxxxx 1028 7th St. N. mailto:rsewill@xxxxxxxxx Moorhead, MN 56560-1568 ymsgr:rsewill sip:628497@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx U.
