    I am running Mac 0S X 10.2 and have OpenSSH_3.4p1, SSH protocols
    1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090609f. I am able to setup ssh tunnels to my
    other Redhat 7.2 linux server running sshd version OpenSSH_3.1p1

    I am also able to ssh tunnel to get my email into my Redhat Linux 7.3
    server using Mac OS 9 clients on both this computer (OS X 10.2),
    laptop running OS 9 and from my PC using SSH client. The 7.3 server
    is running sshd version OpenSSH_3.4p1.

    When I try to connect using tunnels to the 7.3 server from my Mac OS X
    10.2 it fails with the error:

    channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection timed out
    64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=8 ttl=64 time=0.027 ms

    I'm using the same tunnel command that I use to tunnel my mail
    pop/smtp on the 7.2 system but for some reason it just won't work on
    the new 7.3 server with OS X 10.2. All tunnels work to the 7.3 though
    from laptop, pc or os x running OS 9 in emulation even!

    ssh -C -f -L 1101:222.222.22.123:110 www.domain.com ping -i 120
    127.0.0.1

    I use the ping to keep the connection alive. I can actually see the
    ping on the 7.3 server which works and obviously shows the ssh
    connection is setup but it will not allow tunneling for pop/smtp using
    Mac OS X 10.2

    Is there some sort of incompatibility in the ssl or ssh programs I'm
    using? I'm totally stumped after 40 hours of troubleshooting this.
    Since it works everywhere but on the computer I need it to I'm in dire
    straits. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

    thanks,

    marc
