My last message should be amended to read: When SSH forwards windowsbox:5902 to localhost:5901, it listens on windowsbox:5902, tunnels the data inside the SSH connection to linuxbox:22, and then (on the Linux box) opens up a connection to localhost:5901. -- Mike Ossmann, Tarantella/UNIX Engineer/Instructor Alternative Technology, Inc. http://www.alttech.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
