I wanted to forward my local 8080 port to the 80 port of the server I want to log in via SSH, so I did:



ssh -L 80:127.0.0.1:8080 -N -f myserver


But I get the error:



Privileged ports can only be forwarded by root.


I can execute sudo commands when logged in that server, but how can I do it for the purposes of port forwarding? (Note: appending sudo at the beginning of this command doesn't help, because the port 80 is not the port I want to use in localhost, but the port I want to target.)






ssh sudo openssh port-forwarding

          You probably want



          ssh -L 8080:127.0.0.1:80 -N -f myserver


          Local port comes first. (That's not my political stance!)

                    Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

                    Image
                    Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
