Hi, I'm trying to connect to a vncserver via ssh. To do that i start ssh -L ... on pc9
pc9:/tftpboot/P2001 # ssh -L 5902:p2001:5901 p2001 root@p2001's password: "mypassword" I get a prompt on p2001 bash-2.05# Now I start vncviewer rp@pc9:~ > vncviewer localhost:2 vncviewer: VNC server closed connection Now I get : bash-2.05# channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed on the prompt of p2001 and in /var/log/messages on p2001: Mar 12 11:47:18 192 auth.err sshd[207]: error: connect_to 192.168.18.180 port 5901: Invalid argument Mar 12 11:47:18 192 auth.err sshd[207]: error: connect_to p2001 port 5901: failed. There is no firewall installed nor ipsec, ipchains or so. ssh and vnc are running well as single tasks. Can anyone give me a hint what's going wrong! I'm searching now for a few days without any success.
