...fest where a 15-year (seriously) linux veteran was struggling to remember/find the ssh syntax for making a tunnel for more than 2 hours, giving up eventually. It should be very easy (perhaps trivial) to make a script that makes this ordeal unnecessary. Pardon my ignorance, but something like: `sshforward 10000:20000`. Do the OpenSSH developers have any interest in this? Cheers, Andrew

...ck to my phone. while i was looking for a copy application (like scp) i found rsyc running on symbian. i checked rsync home page, and i could't find any news on it. so i write this letter to the mailing list informing you about this rsync port. you can find more information here: http://www.sshforwarding.com/symbian-rsync i hope this is a usefull info. homer

Hi, Question: Can a TCP server (running on the same host as the OpenSSH server) know the user id/name of a user forwarding an TCP port ? I.e. if someone on some client machine does ssh -L9999:localhost:9999 someuser at somehost nc localhost 9999 and a service accepts the connection on port localhost:9999 on somehost, can it somehow safely read out the user name "someuser"?
