OpenSSH 2.9p1 ssh hanging

Wed May 16 00:09:00 GMT 2001

Hi Corinna...
Can anyone reproduce this problem? I used to use
ssh hostname -f -L portnumber:localhost:portnumber sleep 30
to open a tunnel and give me 30 seconds to connect to it. This worked in 
2.5.2p2-3. It does not work in 2.9p1-1.
The -f let ssh return immediately so I could start an application (from the 
same script file) that used the tunnel.
I not sure if the port forwarding as above is working. Any thoughts on how I 
can tell? But...I tried
ssh hostname -f sleep 30
and this leaves a ssh/sshd pair hanging. Does anyone else have the same 
symptoms?
Thanks,
...Karl
