hey all,
I'm using openssh-3.5p1, was trying to set up a 'reverse telnet'
session
(sun solaris 2.6 on both machines). Anyways, I was doing:
server% ssh -R 1111:<server>:2222 <client>
client% ssh -p 1111 <client>
where <server> is behind a firewall and <client> cannot reach
<server>
Anyways the idea was to connect to the socket on <client> and having the
traffic forwarded over to the <server> (hence avoiding a firewall).
(right now, I'm testing it on 2 machines without firewalls to be simple).
However, this doesn't work; I see an sshd program running on the client box
that corresponds to the server request, I do a netstat -a, and see:
localhost.1111 *.* 0 0 0 0 LISTEN
on the client machine..
However, when I do 'ssh -p 1111 <client>', I get:
ssh: connect to host <client> port 1111: Connection refused.
So.. any clues on what's going on? And how do I set it up so I can see
what's going on on the client side via ssh -d... I can see debug messages
for the parent process, *not* the process spawned listening on port 1111.
Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated, if you need any more info on
configuration, let me know (perl has a -V option to show all compile options,
sort of wondering what the equivalent would be for openssh.)
Thanks much,
Ed
(ps - one more thing. When I do 'ssh -R 1111:<server>:2222
<client>', I
actually *get a shell*. This isn't really the expected behaviour, I would
have
thought that it would just open up a port, and run in the background as a
daemon...)
