This won't work unless you are root on your local machine as you are
forwarding port 80 locally to port 80 remotely. It also won't work if
you are running a web server on port 80 on the local machine.
I would tend to use something like (the local port number is arbitrary
as long as it is >1023).
ssh -L 8081:localhost:80 my.e-smith.box
The "localhost" says that the forward is to the _remote_ localhost - it
is also possible to forward to hosts which are remote to the remote
host, but you normally just want to forward to the other end of the
connection.
You would then connect your browser to localhost:8081
lynx
http://localhost:8081/e-smith-manager> and I see the following message pop up in my ssh console:

Hmm, I'm getting that as well. That should be going to the SSH log
(if anywhere).

The forward above works for me, but I am getting those annoying messages
on the remote end. That needs to be turned off or redirected to the log, but can
be ignored for now.
