Thanks, that makes sense.  It seems the problem is in my .ssh/config?
I'm trying to access the subversion server behind a gateway.  I
usually use the tunnel for shells and web browsing on various Linux
boxes, but I have no account on the subversion server.

I'm trying to get commands like "svn update" to work through the
tunnel.  My config looks like this:

Host gateway.gov
     # For ssh shells
     DynamicForward 1080
     #For web pages
     LocalForward 2280 some.webserver.gov:80
     # For svn ---not working
     LocalForward 2588 subversion.server.gov:443

Host linux.box.gov
     ProxyCommand $HOME/bin/ProxyCommand.sh %h %p
              [The ProxyCommand.sh script is:
              if connect -n 127.0.0.1 1080 >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null; then
                  exec connect -4 -S 127.0.0.1:1080 "$@"
              else
                  exec connect -n "$@"
              fi
              ]

# http://localhost:2280/
Host some.webserver.gov:80
     HostName localhost
     Port 2280

# https://localhost:2588/       ----not working
Host subversion.server.gov*
     HostName localhost
     Port 2588
     HostKeyAlias subversion.server.gov


Thanks for the help,
Glenn
