Try using:

SSHD_OPTS="-4"

This should make ssh use ipv4 and disable ipv6 , which should solve
the "bind: address already in use" error....

Hi,

I've read up on some articles explaining some more delicate features of SSH.

There is a switch (namely -D), which apparently would cause SSH to work
as a SOCKS protocol proxy, by dynamically forwarding ports when requested.

However, I am unable to get this to work, between 2 SUSE 10.0 boxes.

Ssh always reports "bind: address already in use", no matter which port
I decide to try (yes they are really unused).
e.g.:
ssh 10.0.0.2 -D 15081
bind: Address already in use

This happens both as user, and root.

Someone suggested setting
AllowTcpForwarding yes
in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, then restart sshd. No luck.


SUSE LINUX 10.0 (i586) OSS
VERSION = 10.0
openssh-4.1p1-10.13

Best regards
Sylvester
