Actually I tried it at higer ports and also as root at port 82.
IT connects ok. But when I go to browser and enter the url:<port> nothing
happens.
Also doing this hangs up the earlier ssh connection.
I am doing this on a firewall machine haveing ipchains on linux 2.2.13
Is there a problem with that.
Thanks
