I have the following situation,

I am connected to my office server thru VPN from my home Laptop/PC.

Once the VPN connection is established, I telnet to the AIX server (say
AIX1). (currently ssh2 port is not allowed from outside!!!)

Now, I want to connect to different machines from this server using
ssh2 (From this machines all the other servers can be accessed using
ssh2)

AIX1% ssh2 -q remote-server1
--The above works, but it uses the same session/screen I logged on

I want to launch separate sessions/screens for every "ssh2
remote-serverX"

I tried,
ssh2 -q -f remote-server1 -p 670 xterm

This is what I see when running in debugmode

debug: Ssh2AuthPubKeyClient/authc-pubkey.c:780: adding keyfile
"/home/prince/.ssh2/idrsa_2048" to candidates
debug: Ssh2AuthPubKeyClient/authc-pubkey.c:331: Constructing and
sending signature...

debug: Ssh2Common/sshcommon.c:662: num_channels now 0
debug: Got session close with exit_status=1
debug: destroying client struct...
debug: uninitializing event loop

In summary, this is what I want.

After login to a central server (say AIX1) using telnet, I want to
launch many ssh sessions from the same server (AIX1) without losing my
existing session.

I tried setting my DISPLAY to various combinations. None of them
worked. The above works fine when working from office.

Thanks,
Prince.
