setting up dropbear for local port forwarding

[Robert P. J. Day]

  undoubtedly a trivial question but i want to make sure i have this
mentally worked out before i get to the office and try it.

  i want to set up a system running dropbear to do local port
forwarding to a remote host running a regular sshd listening on the
default port 22.

  as i read it, on my forwarding system (with dropbear 0.52), i need
to do two things:

  1) invoke dropbear with "-a" (no other changes)

  2) invoke dbclient thusly:

  # dbclient -L 1234:localhost:22 root at remotehost

is that about it?  or have i misread something in the docs?  thanks.
