ncat ssh interaction

[Burlen Loring <bloring () lbl gov>]

Hi All,

I would like to use ncat to forward some incoming traffic to an ssh tunnel.

For example, I have a -R ssh tunnel on port 22234 back to my 
workstation. When I try to use ncat to connect to it, ncat fails with 
the following error:

$ bin/ncat localhost 22234
socket: Address family not supported by protocol
connect_to localhost port 22234: failed.

I tried a couple things like , specifiying -4 and -6 options but to no 
avail. Can anyone shed some light on what is going on here?

Thanks
Burlen
