I've searched the archives and perused manpages and config files yet can't figure out why this isn't working: - I'm trying to port forward from a remote machine to my laptop, something I did without a problem using 4-STABLE - If I do: ssh -v -N -4 -L8000:www.freebsd.org:80 myserver.net where myserver.net is a machine with Internet access, I could expect that connecting to 127.0.0.1 port 8000 on my laptop would port forward packets to/from www.freebsd.org:80 However, ssh seems to be having trouble binding to port 8000 locally (and I've tried port 50000, 57000, 2000 and all behave similarly): debug1: Connections to local port 8000 forwarded to remote address www.freebsd.org:80 debug1: Local forwarding listening on 127.0.0.1 port 8000. bind: Can't assign requested address channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 8000 Could not request local forwarding. and I can't see any reason why the binding would fail: hilbert[ttyp1]:aditya~> sysctl net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedlow net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedlow: 0 hilbert[ttyp1]:aditya~> sysctl net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh: 1023 what am I missing? Thanks, Adi
