Summary	0004822: SSH Tunneling fails
Description	I have used SSH tunneling to get access to Kali jumpboxes on remote networks for several years. A few months back the ability to do this just quit working and I get the error "Tunnel device failed to open" As I have done for a long time I am using the SSH commands. ssh root@<IPADDRESS> -w 0:0 I am adding the following to the sshd_config file and also changed root logins to "yes" PermitTunnel yes ClientAliveInterval 120 As I said this method has worked for me for years I looked online and not found a reason for this failure and would appericate any help. I have attached a screen shot of the failure response. Thanks BoWeaver

elwood 2018-06-26 05:27 reporter ~0009316	This is a sshd config issue, not a bug. Ensure "AllowTcpForwarding" is set to "yes" in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
