You also get this if the server end is locked down in the sshd_config or in the key in the authorized_keys file. It is perfectly possible to permit only specific port forwards at the server end. "man authorized_keys" has details. We do this routinely for batch tunnels and locked down remote access (eg for testers - let them ssh in, no shell, only specific port forwards to the service to test). -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ Uh, this is only temporary...unless it works. - Red Green -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
