Hi....
I've installed dropbear 0.53.1 on my linux machine and I tried to request for remote port forwarding by assigning the port to listen as 0 using the command : dbclient -R 0:<ip address>:22 user@<ip address> but it gave the error message that it is unable to start port forwarding at port no 0 , I also looked in the source code of Dropbear from which I found that it is not supported with dropbear but in RFC 4254,section 7, page 16 it is mentioned that if we assign 0 as port no then the ssh server should assign the next available port to the client. Please tell me that whether it is mandatory to support this type of port forwarding by assigning the port as 0. Please reply as soon as possible. Thanks and Regards, Chandan Tiwari NEC HCL ST.
