[nycbug-talk] mysql ssh & fBSD

I have two mysql dbs running on different fBSD boxes on different  
nodes of the net. I figured out the ssh tunnel part but for some  
reason when I try to connect like so:

# establish the background tunnel
ssh -N -f -L 4406:127.0.0.1:3306 some.other-box.com

#attempt to connect from the local mysql client to the remote server
mysql -P 4406 -u joe_user -p

All I end up with is a connection to the local db and not the remote  
one. Any ideas why this doesn't work even though the docs I'm  
following are claim it should.

cheers,
mikel
