-Despite this error message, this just means it wasn't able to open a port forward. Generally this is because the address you have set for port forwarding is wrong, or the port that you are pointing to is incorrect. Check your -L or -R options for accuracy.

+Despite this error message, this just means it wasn't able to open a port forward. Generally this is because the address you have set for port forwarding is wrong, or the port that you are pointing to is incorrect. Check your -L or -R options for accuracy. For example this command will bring up the error mentioned above caused by a wrong usage: ssh -L 9999:<b>user</b>@host:22, the problem is that you are not allowed to specify a user here. On the other hand this is also the message you'll get if your slave SSH server is running port filtering software like "Little Snitch" or have a firewall setup on the slave side.
