openssh vs. ssh

[Adam Shand <larry@alaska.net>]

hi.

i recently changed mailserver that i pop my mail off of, and the new one
uses openssh on debian instead of ssh on solaris.  i used a preconnect to
tunnel the session via ssh with a line like this:

  preconnect "ssh -C -f -L 1100:maus.spack.org:110 maus.spack.org 'sleep 9'"

this used to work perfectly but now doesn't and the only thing i can
figure is something different about the way open ssh handles port
forwarding.  

does anyone know off what the deal is and how i need to change this to
make it work?  if not i'll go digging through the docs to see if i can
figure it out.

thanks,
adam.
