On some schools the inbound port 22 is blocked. So we did a tunnel thing starting an ssh process from the inside to the outside, opening a reverse tunnel. This was done to help some developers (me, among others) and SA to get into the school from the outside. The a lot of people was asking about it, and thats why it ended up into the debian-edu-config. The someone (pere?) made it install in /etc/init.d, and enabled it on std runlevels. But the backdoor will not open until it is configured. The config file is in /etc/default/backdoor I'm not sure if is sholud be placed in /etc/init.d by default, or maybe it should be placed in /usr/share/doc/debian-edu-config/tools or something -- Finn-Arne Johansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bzz.no/
