Hi all,

I am using ssh with port redirection to log on host_at_work:

ssh -L20110:mail:110 host_at_work

With linux-2.6.35-rc3, when I telnet to localhost I get:

telnet localhost 20110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection timed out

but the connection at host_at_work stays ESTABLISHED

With older kernels at home (linux-2.6.33.4) when I telnet I have:

telnet localhost 20110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK
quit
+OK
Connection closed by foreign host.

I have seen the posting on LKML:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/13/11

and decided to revert the patch mentioned their (see bellow).
The revert solves the problem for me.

Regards

Marin Mitov
