Allright after studying the RFC's again I believe that this is the right way to
do it:
1. Start SSH session2. Request listening on remote port3. While Forever
1. Wait untill incoming channel and load in an ssh_channel 2. while
connection not closed 1. Read reverse channel and write to
Local Socket 2. Read Local socket and write to reverse channel
3. Close Channel
That is exactly what my while loop does. After I have closed the channel it
starts waiting for a new one. When a connection arrives my code continues to
the loop where it starts forwarding the data between the channel and the
socket, but there there never seems to be any data on the channel. This has
kept me occupied for over a day now, and it's really weird that everything
works fine on the first connection but not on the second.
If I am missing a step in the list above please tell me. If there is a mistake
in my code I will probably be able to figure it out myself.
