Hi there, I''m having some difficulties finding some decent info on getting Switchtower to function for my needs.

Just loaded up Switchtower 1.0 today, via gems. I''m on OS X (10.4.5), with ruby and friends installed via darwinports in opt/local.

I am just about to dive into Switchtower, but had a thought (go figure?). Could Switchtower use be inverted? Could user, clients, or customers install switchtower and "pull" applications? Just a thought. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi ! Following Ezra's suggestions on http://brainspl.at/pages/perfect_vps, I changed the port sshd listens to. I'm trying to setup SwitchTower, and I don't know how to set the port.

I''m struggling to get switchtower working, and from other posts about it I know it has something to do with ruby binding to open ssl.
