Subject: openssh2.5.2p2-3 (latest) + cygwin1-20010414.dll: sshd port forwarding not working

Using the latest openssh and the latest cygwin1.dll on a server (sshd.exe), port
forwarding is not working.
From any client, try

ssh -N -C -L 8000:<remote cygwin/sshd machine>:25 <remote cygwin/sshd machine>

to connect to a cygwin/openssh server and forward local port 8000 to port 25 on
that server. Then try

telnet 127.0.0.1 8000

and you will not see the SMTP message from the Windows/cygwin/openssh server.
I got this with both Windows 2000 SP1 machine and NT4SP6a machine, both using
srvany.exe. Should be easily reproducible with the latest builds.
Regards,
Wolfgang

BTW - "ssh -f" (go background) doesn't work either on cygwin, bat that's a minor
issue.
