I'm having the following problem trying to ssh through a reverse ssh tunnel (between 2 Linux boxes)
>From home, I want to log into my work computer which is behind a firewall. So >on my work computer, I log into my home computer like so: ssh -R 7071:127.0.0.1:22 -p 22 u...@home_ip_address That should make my home computer listen on port 7071. So from home I should be able to log into the work computer like so: ssh localhost -p 7071 -v Unfortunately it gives the following error: OpenSSH_3.8p1 Debian 1:3.8p1-3, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for localhost debug1: Applying options for * debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 33: Deprecated option "RhostsAuthentication" debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 37: Deprecated option "FallBackToRsh" debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 38: Deprecated option "UseRsh" debug1: Connecting to localhost [127.0.0.1] port 7071. debug1: Connection established. debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host Is there a way to get this working by running SSH in a less secure mode or anything? ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
