Hello, I'm (still) trying to work around a limitation I've encountered with a new service provider (cf. "MTA on non-standard port"). As root: # ssh -L 24:server:52525 server fails because root logins aren't permitted in /etc/sshd_config on the server. Also as root: # ssh -L 24:server:52525 user@server fails - an terminal session is established, but when I telnet localhost:24 I receive this in the terminal: channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed I was kinda under the impression this should work, since the port on the remote server is a dynamic port. Any suggestions how I might get this to work? TIA, Kevin Kinsey
