[solved] SSH forward not working

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi, I’m new to RouterOS but not networking.
Set up an RB750Gr3 with 6.39.2 for which I’d like to access webfig over an SSH tunnel.

I enabled SSH port forwarding via CLI (and rebooted):

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip ssh print
           forwarding-enabled: yes
  always-allow-password-login: no
                strong-crypto: no
                host-key-size: 2048

yet when I try to portforward over SSH (listening on 42222) I only get the console and no forwarded port:
ssh -L 8888:192.168.88.1:80 admin@themikrotikrouter.sn.mynetname.net -p 42222

anything I overlooked?

OK nevermind, this does actually work OK, the host I was testing from didn’t cooperate well.
As not to make this post completely useless:

The ‘forwarding-enabled’ setting can only be changed through the CLI, not webfig or winbox. I hope this can be added in a future release.
