ssh -2 -N -f -L [localhost port]:[cvsup-server-ip]:[cvsup-server-port] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
For example:
ssh -2 -N -f -L 6000:cvsup.ca.freebsd.org:5999 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then you'd simply change your supfile to point to localhost, and possibly use the -p [port] option on the command line to change the port to 6000.
Good luck.

There seems to be a wealth of information on using CVSup over a ssh tunnel, all of which I am apparently too dense to understand.
Please take pity on me:
I have a machine inside a NATing firewall that needs to cvsup, but cannot connect via port 5999.
I have a machine outside that firewall that doesn't need to cvsup, but can connect via port 5999
ssh is permitted out of the firewall, and is running on both machines above.
no changes are allowed to the firewall.
Can I create a tunnel from the inside machine to the outside machine to a cvsup server and thus become happy and sane again?
Thanks,
Benjamin Everist
