--- Comment #2 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
If I'm understanding your report correctly then this is working as
intended:

> 1B. Command: $SSH -R 6900:127.0.0.1:5900 ssh at 127.0.0.1

This asks ssh/sshd to forward remote port 6900 to 127.0.0.1:5900 at the
local side.

> 1B. Command: $SSH -L 6900:127.0.0.1:5900 ssh at 127.0.0.1

This asks ssh/sshd to forward local port 6900 to 127.0.0.1:5900 at the
remote side.

Since the "remote side" in both these examples is localhost, there is
no effective difference between these commands, and they could be used
interchangeably.
