	I'm trying to figure out how to tunnel SMB over SSH.  I found some 
documentation on the web and have tried it.

	The command
'ssh -A -N -f -L 445:localhost:445 username@remotehost'
prompts me for my password and establishes a connection as expected.

	First I connect directly to my home share on the remote host to make 
sure it is working via
'smbclient //remotehost/username -p 445 -U username

	Then I try to connect via the tunnel as:
'smbclient //localhost/username -p 445 -U username'

	and get this on the client
debug1: Connection to port 445 forwarding to localhost port 445 requested.
debug2: fd 6 setting TCP_NODELAY
debug2: fd 6 setting O_NONBLOCK
debug2: fd 6 is O_NONBLOCK
debug1: channel 2: new [direct-tcpip]
channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
debug1: channel 2: free: direct-tcpip: listening port 445 for localhost 
port 445, connect from 127.0.0.1 port 36153, nchannels 3
debug3: channel 2: status: The following connections are open:
  #2 direct-tcpip: listening port 445 for localhost port 445, connect 
from 127.0.0.1 port 36153 (t3 r-1 i0/0 o0/0 fd 6/6)
debug3: channel 2: close_fds r 6 w 6 e -1
protocol negotiation failed

	on the server side I get
Jan 21 13:45:07 remotehost sshd[8467]: debug1: 
server_input_channel_open: ctype direct-tcpip rchan 2 win 131072 max 32768

Jan 21 13:45:07 remotehost sshd[8467]: debug1: channel 0: garbage collecting

	Each time, I've tried this stuff, I've taken down the firewall on both 
ends just to make sure that's not the problem.  I can connect on 
remotehost using 'smbclient //localhost/username -p 445 -U username' 
just fine.  I've tried a variety of SuSE and OpenSSH versions on each 
end 9.0 w/ 3.4p1, 8.2 w/ 3.5p1, 8.1 w/ 3.4p1, 8.0 w/ 3.4p1.

	Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jason Joines
