Hi all,

I have set up ths system for key authentication. Thanks Richard.

now I face the following problem:

# ssh 10.0.0.1 -f -N -L 1000:127.0.0.1:23
#
# telnet localhost 1000 gives me the telnet login of the 10.0.0.1
machine; so far so good.

10.0.0.1 login: root
passwd: ******

# exit

connection closed by remote 10.0.0.1 and the tunnel has gone.

client is solaris 8 and server solaris 9.

how could I prevent the tunnel from dissapearing? it should remain
forever -:)

thanks for all help.
