Now sorted thanks, sorry to bother everyone. I missed a second switch in
the man pages, hence:
#ssh -D <local-port-number> -p <target-port-number> <ip-address>
now works (the switches are case sensitive !).

Hi All
Can anyone tell me the commandline entry that allows me to specify the
port number of the target machine.
I want to remotely access the firewall (running smoothwall) on our lan
for admin purposes but it uses a port number different to the normal
22 for security reasons.
I have tried for example:
#ssh -D <port-nu8mber> <ip-address>
which is what the man pages suggest but I get a connection refused
error which suggests that it is still trying to go in on port 22.
Do I perhaps have to specify the outgoing port on my box as well as
the target boxes port?
Any suggestions?
Stu
