Hi all,

I am using SSH on a SUN Ultra 2 with a Solaris 5.6 operating system. The machine also runs the following servers:

ORBIX 2.2
Oracle 8
NIS (yellow pages)

The machine is also managing an external RAID disk and sharing its file system with an ATM switch.

I am running the command with the following options:

    ssh -f -l <user>  -enone -L <localport>:<localhost>:<remoteport> <remotehost>

Everything seems Ok but when I issue the ftp localhost from another shell, the system hangs.
After some attempts I have found out that the -f option is the one the blocks the system. Looking at the ssh man pages I found that -f also implies -S and -n. performing another test I found that -n is probably creating the problem. In fact the -n option hangs the system even before issuing the ftp localhost command.

I am trying the same from another machine (same model and same operating system) and I don't get the same problem. So I wonder if this may be caused by the particular configuration of the operating system, a conflict on a port, the presence of some daemons, etc.

Did anybody have the same problem ?

Thanks a lot in advance

Nino
