Hi

i'm having a problem when i tunnel vnc 3.3.3r2
over openssh 2.9p2 .

it tunnels well but , for each buffer vnc send , it
makes a new localhost connection between the
sshd and the vnc service.

since vnc seems to use 8kb buffers , an vnc
session makes thousands of localhost connection
per minute in the server strangling it a little.

i'm using WinNT with openssh-2.9p2 from Cygwin
on the server .
also tested openssh-2.9p2 from
NetworkSimplicity and openssh-2.9p1 from
Cygwin .

as anyone had this problem ?

thanks in advance .
