[SATLUG] SSH Forwarding Problem

Hey Sean,
The problem resolved?  I am running similar setups for SSH, so let me know
the status and we can work it out.

There problem is with your keys (host or personal) that is not allowing the
key-based authentication to continue.  Once we get past that, the port
reflection should be reasonably straight forward to fix.

Thanks!
John
