Hi, I'm trying to do a ssh tunnel from a machine to another, still on an ssh server, thus connecting to machine A the user will be automatically redirected to the ssh server on machine B. Here my commands: luca@machineA:~> ssh -f -N -g -L 7777:machineB:22 luca@machineB -v but I get a "bind: Address already in use", and I don't know why, since it happens for all ports I tried to listen on. Furthermore, when I try to connect to machine A on the port 7777, I can see (on the console of machine A): debug1: channel 1: new [direct-tcpip] channel 1: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed and the connection is not established. Any idea?
