Linux SSH issue channel 2: open failed: unknown channel type

[snorkel]

Hi,
I have a SSH server service I want to use just for tunnels/portforwarding.
It works when I use putty and tell it not to use any shell, when I use linux SSH I get this:

channel 2: open failed: unknown channel type:
Connection to xx.xxx.xxx.xx closed.

Please specify the exact version of the SSH client you are using on Linux.
