You can actually pipe ppp through ssh and thus tunnel arbitrary ip packets over ssh, as shown in http://www.jfranken.de/homepages/johannes/vortraege/ssh2.en.html#ToC12 > If you want a true VPN, do not use SSH or SSL. I'd rather say, it depends on your setup... Remember how easy it is to tunnel ssh over http proxies :-) (examples at http://www.jfranken.de/homepages/johannes/vortraege/ssh3.en.html ) -- Johannes Franken Professional unix/network development mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jfranken.de/
