Unfortunately, ssh ties up a terminal whenever you do a port redirection; i.e. you must log into the system to do this. It's possible for the ssh session to not run any command with the -N option, but this still ties up a terminal (it just sits there, as if some program were running in the foreground, producing no output -- because that's exactly what's happening). - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
