[ tries it ... ] Worksforme, using the stock ssh in OS X 10.4.6. Maybe you've got the OS X firewall configured to prevent connections to port 6666? That doesn't seem to be default, because I didn't have to adjust the firewall for my experiment. Another possibility is that the ssh daemon on the linux box is restricted from opening local connections. It wouldn't surprise me if this is disabled by default by SELinux for instance :-( regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
