I'm using ii ssh 1.2.2-1.4 Secure rlogin/rsh/rcp replacement (OpenSSH)
on a recently updated woody system. I often use ssh to forward ports. Sometimes ssh refuses to do so: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ssh -L 119:news.jhu.edu:119 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'sleep 60000' Disconnecting: cannot listen port: 119 The previous copy of ssh is no longer running, so the port should be free. How can I find out what is preventing ssh from listening to the port? Thanks for any help, Dan PS: Here is an excerpt of the output when ssh is given the -v flag: debug: RSA authentication accepted by server. debug: Connections to local port 119 forwarded to remote address news.jhu.edu:119 debug: Local forwarding listening on 127.0.0.1 port 119. bind: Address already in use Disconnecting: cannot listen port: 119 -- Dan Christensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
