  i am simply taking this DB mailing list entry at its word:

http://lists.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au/pipermail/dropbear/2006q1/000355.html

"You'll have to start the Dropbear server with the -a
argument (equivalent to the "gatewayports yes" directive).
Dropbear's -k option disables "ssh -R" style forwarding entirely.
Note that "-a" was only introduced in Dropbear 0.47."
