[plug] SSH Tunnel

[Michael L. Benjamin]

Ok, not quite there yet...

I'm using this command now...

#ssh -L 110:mail.iinet.net.au:110 <localIP> -l username

I can connect locally on that server to 110 and get the POP3 session
from the iinet mailserver. So that part of
things is working nicely.

Remotely I cannot connect though. Iptables is set to allow through 110
so this is not the issue.

I can connect up via PuTTY, and open localhost 110 on the XP machine,
but it closes the connection off immediately.

I'm using a tunnel with source port 110 with PuTTY. <server1_IP>:110 is
the destination. 

What I'm seeing is that <server1_IP> is not listening on port 110...
argh. A telnet to that address on port 110
results in a connect failed.

Now I'm confused...

Mike.

Blinded by the question, I was.

As others have pointed out:

  ssh -L 9999:server2:110 server1
