I'm still trying to figure out how to login while its being backgrounded? --Nathan John Morris wrote:
Here's the command I use on the work computer (A):ssh -l myusername homemachine.homeip.net -N -L 11900:goliath-east.newsfeeds.com:119 -L 11901:goliath-west.newsfeeds.com:119 &This connects to homemachine(B) through ssh.I set the server in pan to connect to localhost port 11901. This connection is forwarded by ssh to (B), and the sshd on the other end in turn makes a connection to goliath-west.newsfeeds.com, port 119 (C). You can also set up multiple ports as I have done also.Actually, I forward much more than just news through this ssh connection. I also foward ports on my home machine to the pop server at work so I can check e-mail outside the firewall. I even forward ssh itself through ssh so I can log into the work machine from home outside the firewall. My machine at work has a cron script that runs every 15 minutes to check that the ssh tunnel is still alive. If not it re-establishes the connection.On Thursday 24 April 2003 11:21 pm, Wolf J.

I use it myself to connect to my usenet from work, where they have port 119 blocked on the firewall. I forward a local port to the news server port 119 thru ssh to my home machine, which, which of course doesn't block that port. Actually, I leave the ssh connection up constantly, and even have a cron script to re-establish the connection if it goes down.Let me see if I understand. You forward from (A) your work box, to (B) your home box, to (C) your usenet server? I can grasp the (A) --> (B) no problem; I've done SSH from work to home, and used it to forward a VNC connection so I can have my pretty GUI at work. However, now the stream has to get from (B) --> (C) so that your work box thinks it's doing (A) --> (C). Unless your usenet provider offers SSH-tunneled connections, I'm a bit fuzzy on that -- how do you do it?_______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list address@hidden http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
