Hi,
My turn to be more clear about my goals.
1, the commands I provided are the exact ones I will be using, save for substituting whatever credentials, as in username and password.
My ssh tool needs those details.
2. I will be only doing some from my main DOS computer.
3. even when I say ssh into the dreamhost provided for curtain Up Distribution, I still must provide credentials of some kind.
Its going to be my stand alone Linux box.

Kare

 when I currently ssh, will use shellworld as an example,  my software can
 either work with a command like this,
  ssh2d386 -B -p845 klewellen shellworld.net
 Or this
 ssh2d386 -B [email protected]
 the second one takes me into the setup Ron built for things like the VPN
 door.
 I am going to need something comparative to run  my ssh program.

Depends whether you want to ssh into said linux box only while at the same premises or from anywhere there is internet available. If you want to ssh into it from *anywhere* then a domain name is one way to do it. Another way would be vpn.

If you only need to ssh into the box "locally" ie, while you are on the same premises as where the box is running, then there is no need for domain name or vpn complications.
