openssh unix dev - May 2002 - tunnel connection like a service with cygwin or other products?

Hi all,

I try to implement a secure ODBC connection via ssh tunnel from a win-pc to a
linux server. I am looking for a kind of service under nt that builds a secure
tunnel connection from the pc to the server at time of login of the user at the
desktop and going into the background after that. That means the conncetion is
always open until the user shuts down the pc. It should run completely in the
backgroung, not in a minimized window...

Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks!
Stephan

The first part should be easy: use cygwin openssh client using some kind
of passwordless authentication (eg RSA).

To make it run entirely in the background, run it from cygrunsrv (part
of Cygwin) or SRVANY (NT resource kit). Neither of these work on W95,
only NT or W2K.
