Bug 1819

Summary:	IPv6 local port forward does not work as described in man-page
Product:	Portable OpenSSH	Reporter:	jchadima
Component:	ssh	Assignee:	Assigned to nobody <unassigned-bugs>
Status:	CLOSED FIXED
Severity:	normal	CC:	djm
Priority:	P2
Version:	5.6p1
Hardware:	All
OS:	All

Description jchadima 2010-09-14 18:40:02 AEST

Syntax with slashes - as described - does not work:
mfaux@reykjavik ~ % ssh -L '1234/::1/1234' 1.2.3.4
Bad local forwarding specification '1234/::1/1234'

Workaround: Use "enclosing address in square brackets" method: "ssh -L
'1234:[::1]:1234'".

The '/' separated form is deprecated and has been removed from the manual pages in recent OpenSSH.

Move resolved bugs to CLOSED after 5.7 release
