ssh -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5901 -C -N -l testmachine_1 172.1.1.1
But when I point to my local machine it worked successfully. I am able to take the remote using VNC.
But when I login to some other machine and point the same remote machine to it, It failed to connect.
I am not able to see any error, It got stuck like this
/etc/test$ ssh -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5901 -C -N -l testmachine_2 172.1.1.1

You are getting asked for the password because you are on a machine that does not have the login information stored yet. Put the password in for testmachine_2 on remote machine and press enter, this will unlock the keyring for the first connect on that machine. However I would suggest getting private and public keys working insted of passwords. If no password was set use that users login password.
