Hi, Here is the situation. You have machines A->B->C. You want to create a ssh tunnel directly from A to C.
Machine A can see machine B and machine B can see C, but A can't see C directly. A and B are on a local network and only B has 'limited net access'. I know how to ssh in from A to B and then again from B to C. But I want a direct tunnel. This would work for http over ssh or perhaps to run X say. Thus I know how to browse while logged on B through using C via a ssh tunnel from B to C. Thus: In firefox, you use localhost:8080 in the socks host settings for manual proxy configuration. then you set up a ssh tunnel ssh -ND 8080 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or can set up X etc. Now how can you extend that tunnel from machine B back to machine A so that you can use the same tunnel from B to C. Is there a way to set up a ?"socks tunnel" on B to accomodate a "ssh in" from A? Thus we would be able to use the same firefox set up for A to get to C.
