ssh reverse tunnel

[Rick Bilonick <rab nauticom net>]

I re-installed Fedora 8 and now I can get a reverse ssh tunnel (from
server to home) by typing on the server:

> ssh -R 2022:server.ip:22 home home ip


Then when at the home computer, I type:

> ssh -p 2022 server localhost

This works fine. The only problem is the connection always times out
even though I've changed the sshd_config files on both machines to keep
it alive. I've restarted the sshd daemon also. Not sure why the
connection keeps closing.
