Hello,
I have a router that is running dropbear for an ssh server. I am
trying to use dropbear for "listener port forwarding" , but so far I
am not able to do so. I am using the following arguments to the
"ssh" command:
ssh -g -N -R 9777:localhost:9778 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If the "-g" argument is provided to ssh, and the sshd at the other
end is the OpenSSH sshd, and its sshd_config file contains the
"GatewayPorts yes" directive, then sshd on the remote host will begin
listening on port 9777, forwarding any connections over the tunnel to
port 9778 on the machine at the other end of the tunnel, and it all
works. If this directive is missing then sshd will only listen on
port 9777 for the loopback address (localhost:9777) instead of on all
interfaces (*:9777), which defeats the purpose of the exercise.
The corresponding argument for dropbear seems to be omitting the "-k"
argument when starting dropbear. However, dropbear isn't being
started with that argument.
Is there something additional I need to do, or is this just a
deficiency with dropbear?
Thanks for any info,
Smith
