Package: dropbear
Version: 0.47-1
Severity: minor

Hello,

It seems the -R option from dbclient is documented inaccurate in the man
page:

   -R localport:remotehost:remoteport
           Remote port forwarding.  Forward  the  port remoteport  on  the
           remote host remotehost to port localport on the local host.
                                   
dbclient -h explains it as:
  -R <listenport:remotehost:remoteport> Remote port forwarding
which is correct and more consistent with e. G. ssh, putty/plink and lsh.

So maybe a more accurate description would be:
   -R listenport:desthost:destport
           Remote port forwarding: Forward the port listenport of the
           remote host to port destport on host desthost. 

Thanks,
Markus
