Hi All,

Using the following to ssh into my home to get mail, I suddenly get this:

ssh -o TCPKeepAlive=yes -o ServerAliveInterval=240 -L 110:192.168.100.108:110 phil@FQDN phil@FQDN's password: bind: Cannot assign requested address <---- Last login: Sun Nov 13 23:45:29 2011 from FQDN

I have never seen what I am indicating before and am wondering why this would suddenly appear?

Do you have something listening on localhost:110 ?

Did you by any chance disable ipv6 by adding the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf ?

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1

If so, try commenting that out and run:

/sbin/sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

and see if that makes a difference.
