    I am having a problem using OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian 1:3.8.1p1-4,
    OpenSSL 0.9.7d on the client and OpenSSH_3.7p1 for Solaris 7 on the
    server.

    I have port forwarded the default Oracle port from my local machine
    through a bastion host to my Oracle machine like so:

    ssh -L 1521:oracle_box:1521 username@bastion

    And all works fine at first. I am doing some load testing on an
    application and am trying to see how many instances I can run at one
    time. Each instance of the application initiates its own connection
    to the Oracle database through the SSH tunnel. This works great until
    I get to 25 hosts and then I start seeing this error on the console of
    the bastion host where I have ssh'd to:

    channel 53: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed

    It appears there is some sort of hard limit that I have reached and I
    am wondering if this is something I can change on the client side, the
    server side, or whether it is hardcoded into either the server or
    client and I'm out of luck. I do not have the luxury of simply
    selecting another local port to forward because of the way the
    application is configured so I'd really like to be able to get at
    least 100 connections through per tunnel. I have tried this on 3
    different Linux boxes, all with the same result.
