Okay -- I'll distill my question then.
Does the "-R" option actually do anything under OpenSSH? Note that I am
accompanying it with the -g option.
We're using version 2.1.1p4-1, installed from RPM on a Red Hat 7 machine
at the client side; on the server side we're running Red Hat 6.2 with
OpenSSH 2.2.0p1.
I don't get any errors; at least nothing that I recognize as such; I
just don't get the behavior I expect, and my users are starting to get
antsy for outside access.
Thanks for any help,
-m
