Hi, I'd like to secure my pop3 ans smtp ports with ssh, but I'm not sure hoe to set it up. Is there a way to start it from inetd?
I tried the line pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/ssh \ /usr/bin/ssh -C -v [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 110:host:110 sleep 10 Why do I have to use /usr/bin/ssh two times? If I don't ssh gets an error and writes: host -C not found but how expected it doesn't work since inetd keeps listening on port 110 and bind fails in ssh. If inetd got a connection how does it forward this connection to the server it calls? Does it use stdout/stdin? I didn't find any information in the manpages and I would not like to search it in the source. I understand the problem but don't know the solution: inetd listend on port 110 inetd gets a connection inetd starts ssh And now there's the question: How does inetd forward the connection to ssh?
