Dear Sirs, I have recently discovered the remote port forwarding feature of ssh and see a lot of potential there to fill a unique need in a unique environment. I would like extend this feature minimally to enable remote hosts to connect to the remotely forwarded port or ideally to allow remote hosts to connect to a dynamically forwarded remote ports (ie a reverse socks4 tunnel). I've invested several hours into the cause and so far I'm having a little bit of trouble following how the "channels" are set up, and I was wondering if someone could post a summary of whats going on -- particularly in the case of remote ports being forwarded. Assistance is appreciated and I'll post a summary of any responses received at a later date. Please reply in private. Thanks, Christopher _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8. Get 2 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/featuredemail
