On SUSE 11.3.

Any ideas? What should the contents of ssh-vpn-tunnel-control be?

Post the first part of the key, the forced command, on a forums somewhere. Examine the key and make sure it is all on one line. @Wayne

Examine the key and make sure it is all on one line.

If I remove the force command, I can ssh to the server as root w/o a password. What am I missing? When I have the force command at the start of the ssh-rsa line, I get prompted for a password.

I am referring not to the tunnel, but the way the traffic is transported within the tunnel if that makes sense. My explanation is probably wrong, and it has been some time since I looked at the exact details, and I have seen more then one opinion on the technical details, so I need to apologize for not haveing a better answer or any errors in my understanding. I would have to refer you to the technical documents, here is one example; http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Setting_up_a_Layer_3_tunneling_VPN_with_using_OpenSSH I think the "simple message" is that this protocol is not the same as port forwarding or tunneling over ssh. I will have to leave the technical details for those who are interested further to review / debate, but if anyone knows a better technical review perhaps they can post back.
