Thanks! I'll have to try out that method also. I did, however, get everything setup to do what I wanted it to... At work, we're behind a firewall, and can only access the internet thru a proxy server. I cannot therefore connect normally to my home network using ssh. I found a perl script on the web (ssh-tunnel.pl) that allows one to tunnel ssh thru ssl, which _will_ pass thru the proxy server. I only had to setup another instance of sshd at home to listen on port 443, and I was then able to connect. I can now "ssh" thru the proxy server to my home firewall/router, and then "ssh" from there into my desktop machine which resides behind the firewall. I was able to forward X over the ssh connection...it was pretty cool to run X applications on my home machine from the work machine (I know that this is probably "old hat" to many of you, but I felt a sense of accomplishment managing to do it thru two firewalls and a proxy server). :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
