<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I’ve installed dropbear
0.53.1 on my linux machine and I tried to request for remote port
forwarding by assigning the port to listen as 0 using the command : <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>dbclient –R 0:<ip
address>:22 user@<ip address> but it gave the error message that it is
unable to start port forwarding at port no 0 , I also looked in the source code
of Dropbear from which I found that it is not supported with dropbear but in
RFC 4254,section 7, page 16 it is mentioned that if we assign 0 as port no then
the ssh server should assign the next available port to the client.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Please tell me that whether
it is mandatory to support this type of port forwarding by assigning the port
as 0. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> Please reply as soon as
possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
