I'd recommend just setting up an SSH port forward from your home machine to your office machine using public/private keys. Then if the connection gets broken [for example: your ISP changes your IP] the connection will automatically get recreated. And you never need to worry about it again. You can run ssh from inittab with an entry like - L:235:respawn:/usr/bin/ssh -nNTx -L $LP:$RIP:$RP $u...@$host - where LP = Local Port, RIP = Remote IP, $RP = Report Port -- Adam Tauno Williams <awill...@whitemice.org> LPIC-1, Novell CLA <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com> OpenGroupware, Cyrus IMAPd, Postfix, OpenLDAP, Samba _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
