If you can connect to home with a command similar to: # ssh -p 443 [EMAIL PROTECTED] And you wish to connect to newsserver.com at port 119 (news) and mailserver.com at port 143 (imap) which can be reached from home then you can create tunnels to those by: # ssh -p 443 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 119:newsserver.com:119 -L 143:mailserver.com:143 After that you just direct your mail and news clients towards localhost as the servername. One way of doing that is to add: 127.0.0.1 newsserver.com mailserver.com to your /etc/hosts. You can add as many tunnels as you want to the same ssh connection by just specifying more "-L localport:servername_or_ip:port" to the ssh command. Read man ssh for more info on ssh local port forwarding. -- Bo Andresen -- [email protected] mailing list
