Nope, same error.

Running suid (set user id) programs from sudo only changes the the
effective uid and not the real uid. These suid programs can see that
and often refuse to be fooled.
Therefore, they try to connect as root, not you. The ssh tunnel will
refuse a connection from root unless allowed.
In /etc/ssh are TWO config files. One for the sshd server, and the
other one governs all outbound ssh tunnels. This is the one that
changed the defaults in the last few years and confused all of us old dogs.
You will notice in /etc/ssh/ssh_config
# ForwardAgent no
# ForwardX11 no
# Tunnel no
These are the bad boys that had their defaults changed.
Try creating a local config file with this in it:
# My local ssh config
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
Tunnel yes
Then try:
ssh -F my_config box_b
That should fix it. If it does, then edit the one in /etc/ssh
appropriately.
Good luck!
