Re: SSH: only listens on loopback

2nd challenge

Using -R instead of -L, I get the same problem on the server, and -g doesn't 
fix it.

ie. with #ssh -f -N -g -L 8080:192.168.254.200:80 user@192.168.254.19

I would expect the sshd running on .19 to start listening to port 8080, and 
forwarding it to the webserver on .200. It works locally, on the sshd server, 
but I can't get to http://192.168.254.200:8080 from another remote host.

thanks.
