On my windows - I am running the cygwin sshd and X server. While I
was doing this testing - I was copying from X windows - and for god
knows what reason - this gives a space between the first colon and
the 10, when I paste the command elsewhere. (I usually manually delete
the space - but this time I forgot.

Doesn't work either

Cygwin SSHD

I think port forwarding is turned off on my Linux machine - I would
have to talk to my network admin about it.

This command gives no output - so that's why I am thinking that
port forwarding is actually not taking place.

Even I found it strange - at least now since I have a way I can
automate it - even if it seems odd.

Thanks once again.
O.O.
