           Summary: Address bits are backwards when setting up port
                    forwarding on Solaris/intel
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.6.1p2
          Platform: ix86
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: jrhett at isite.net


SSH works perfect fine for sessions, scp, sftp and everything else we use it
for, but port forwarding has been broken since 3.4.something...  The local bind
command tries to bind to 1.0.0.127 instead of the proper loopback address.

It wasn't crucial for me, and I got lazy about reporting it while chasing down
other dramas.  I just downloaded the latest source (3.6.1p2) and compiled it and
the problem remains.  Here's the relevant excerpt from ssh -v ...

jrhett at cyclops.elysium.isite.net's password: 
debug1: Authentication succeeded (password).
debug1: Connections to local port 52881 forwarded to remote address medusa:23
debug1: Local forwarding listening on ::1 port 52881.
bind: Cannot assign requested address
debug1: Local forwarding listening on 1.0.0.127 port 52881.
bind: Cannot assign requested address
