           Summary: Trouble creating remote port forwarding to ssh.com 2.4.0
                    server.
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 4.0p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: patch
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh

I'm having a problem with OpenSSH_4.0p1 when trying to do remote port
forwards to a server running SSH Secure Shell 2.4.0. The problem appears
to be that 2.4.0 chokes on bind addresses that aren't numeric addresses,
such as "localhost" and "".

The following commands are failing for me from the 4.0p1 client to the
2.4.0 server:

  ssh -R 50000:localhost:50000 server
  ssh -R localhost:50000:localhost:50000 server
  ssh -R :50000:localhost:50000 server
  ssh -R \*:50000:localhost:50000 server

although these commands work just fine:

  ssh -R 127.0.0.1:50000:localhost:50000 server
  ssh -R 0.0.0.0:50000:localhost:50000 server
  ssh -R 192.168.1.1:50000:localhost:50000 server
