Yes, the following should work. First connect to the external host and create a tunnel to port 22 (ssh) on the internal host. $ ssh -L 2222:internal-host:22 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then connect to the internal host via the tunnel in another shell, and forward X11. $ ssh -p 2222 -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] If port 2222 is in use by another process, it can be changed to any free port > 1024. /Mikael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
