why not use your local browser down an ssh tunnel? I even set up aliases for the most common ones I use: $ alias machine07 alias machine07='ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 8888:machine07.example.com:80' Then point your local web browser at localhost:8888, and you get the web interface of the backuppc server; even if there's a firewall that would otherwise block the web traffic. alternatively, if you can't ssh directly to the backuppc server, but you can ssh to a firewall or some other host which has web access to the backuppc server; you construct the command like this: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 8888:machine07.example.com:80 -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
