port forwarding from linux to linux

Hi,

    I have a frustrating situation where I can forward in one direction only. I have two boxes (lets call em A and B)... if I try this:

    A # ssh2 -L1080:localhost:80 B
or

    B # ssh2 -R1080:localhost:80 A
I can successfully forward.

However

    A # ssh2 -R1080:localhost:80 B
or

    B # ssh2 -L1080:localhost:80 A

Fails with a message "warning: Remote forward 1080:localhost:80 failed. Operation was denied by the server."

Do you need help?

On 'B', I get "debug: Creating remote listener for *** SSH_IPADDR_ANY ***:1080 failed." in syslog.

Both these boxes are running Linux 2.2.17, and ssh 3.2 (non-commercial).

Any suggestions? I am not gettting any other failure messages (I was getting a modprobe error relating to not been able to find net-pf-10, but I alias'd that to off, as I am not using IPv6).

Thanks
