Yep, rinetd is a simple userspace proxy. I used it for a while, but it had a few unpleasant 'features' I didn't like (we were using dynamic DNS with it, so I expect you wouldn't encounter them) Once our 'remote points' were static IPs, I switched to using 'netcat' instead. Now we can create a quick TCP proxy by simply adding a line to inetd.conf: 12345 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/nc 1.2.3.4 5678 So, any incoming TCP connection to the machine on port 12345 will then be proxied to remote host 1.2.3.4 on port 5678 :) (If you specify a port number in inetd.conf, you don't need to create a matching service name in /etc/services) Cheers, Gavin.
