wow... that was an interesting piece of information. i thought for once that it might be possible with X forwarding, but somehow ignored the idea. might be because i don't do much GUI with Linux. like the power of shell more than anything. thanks.

If you have a login on any server on the 'net, from your PC you can: ssh -R 22000:localhost:22 <server> After that you can login to the server from anywhere on the 'net and: ssh -p 22000 localhost and get connected to your PC. If the server has GatewayPorts enabled in sshd_config, you can skip logging into the server too and just: ssh -p 22000 <server> from any computer on the 'net to get connected to your PC. In either case, with some tweaking you can forward VNC or X over the connection if you're a GUI fiend. This method offers strong authentication and strong encryption of the traffic. Much to be preferred in today's paranoid environment.
