Cannot get Windows to tunnel (Cygwin ssh) - help!

Hello, all -

I have set up ssh tunneling over Unix and Linux many times. I am now
trying to do it in a Windows environment, and am having a problem.

One machine (localguy) runs WinXP SP2, the other (remoteguy) runs Win2K
SP2. Both have the latest version of Cygwin installed. The hostames
have been changed to protect the innocent :-)

I have authentication working fine via rsa keys.

I have the CYGWIN environmental variable normally set to 'ntsec tty',
though I have been trying with it set to 'notty' to get this working.
The setting does not appear to matter.

When I try what I think is the correct syntax, I get:
##############################################
OEMJob@localguy ~
$ ssh remoteguy -C -L 9001:localhost:1521
Last login: Thu Dec 29 14:45:03 2005 from local

OEMJob@remoteguy ~
$
##############################################
I have tried numerous variations on the syntax - Unix dialect, setting
up remote instead of local forwarding, etc. I get the same results
every time - a prompt, not a tunnel.

I saw no reason to amend sshd_config, and have not done so on either
side.

There is definitely a service using port 1521 on the remote side.

Do any Cygwin experts out there see what I'm doing wrong?

TIA -

Best regards,
jh
