I think that in general, remote filesystems are going to be more complex than SSH can handle with port forwards. NFS, for example uses portmap and NFS doesn't have static port numbers. SMB uses several ports. I think both use UDP, but I don't remember exactly. In any case, it's probably easiest to set up a VPN for that sort of thing. You can look into IPSec: http://www.freeswan.org/ or CIPE: /usr/share/doc/cipe-1.4.5 (on RHL 7.2) http://sites.inka.de/bigred/devel/cipe.html or SSH+PPP: http://www.dragonsdawn.net/~gordon/vpn/ Only the last doesn't need unusual kernel support. FreeSWAN will require you to patch your kernel, and CIPE (probably) will as well, unless both machines in question are running RHL 7.2. -- If I had a dollar for every brain that you don't have, I'd have one dollar. - Squidward to SpongeBob _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
