tunnel through ssh problem (error 2013)

[Nathan Wheeler]

I'm trying to tunnel through ssh and get the error.

My ssh cmd: ssh -2 -N -f -L 3306:localhost:3306 [e-mail]

When I try to connect I get:

mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p
Enter password:
channel 2: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 0

I've googled a lot and see no solutions.

I'm using 5.0.45 on Solaris 10. I've tried connecting from Ubuntu and Gentoo boxes.
