Has anybody out there successfully used MacSSH to forward AFP port 548 for
secure remote access to an ASIP server? POP/IMAP/HTTP/LPR are simple to
forward (plus FTP via SFTP) but I can't get AFP forwarding to work. I get
as far as the contacting the ASIP server and having it request a login
name/password (e.g. after entering "127.0.0.1:548" for the server address in
the Chooser) but upon submission of those items, it hangs (force-quittable).
Sometimes MacSSH crashes with the hang, taking the TCP/IP stack with it and
requiring a reboot, although giving it a larger memory allocation seems to
have eliminated that problem. I don't see anything helpful in the SSH logs
(local or server). I know Timbuktu will only forward if routed through
guest-enabled SSH tunnel on other systems on my LAN (PC, Mac, Solaris,
whatever), but I have not yet tried AFP with that approach.

Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated (besides telling my clients
to switch to OS X or something else). The end-user systems involved are all
OS 9, the ASIP box in question is OS 9 with ASIP 6.3.x, and the SSH server
runs Red Hat Linux.

Thanks in advance.
