SSH tunnel issue

["Li, Yin" <yin.li.th@gmail.com>]

I am using my debian box for OpenOffice development and encountered following problem when trying to access OpenOffice CVS through ssh tunnel:

 

1. The ssh tunnel is setup correctly with command

 

    ssh -2 -x -L 2401:openoffice.org:2401 tunnel@openoffice.org

 

After input passphase based on id_dsa key, it reports that the tunnel is established.

 

2. Failure in CVS access through the established ssh tunnel

 

    cvs -d :pserver:localhost:2401/cvs login

 

The console for ssh tunnel command reports failure: "channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed".

 

While I can access OpenOffice CVS from another SuSE distro on the same computer. What's the problem for it?

 

Thanks and regards,

Yin
