If I try to use 50001: ssh goldy@localhost -p 50001 -v OpenSSH_4.7p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to localhost [127.0.0.1] port 50001. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/chippy/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/chippy/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/chippy/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 Then I have to ctrl c to get out of this.
