Hi folks, I would like to access a remote Postgres server from a Python program in a secure way. Postgres doesn't currently listen to the Internet for connections, and I'd prefer to keep it that way.
I know how to forward ports using SSH, but I don't like doing this because then anyone who knows the port number can connect to Postgres over the same tunnel. (I'm not the only user on the client machine.) What I envision is something like wrapping an SSH connection which then opens psql once connected, but I'm not too picky. Both Postgres and the Python program are running on Linux. Any ideas? Thanks very much for any help. Reid -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
