You may details of interest here: http://linuxgazette.net/115/chirico.html (there are lots of other places, google just found this one first.) Assuming you are using OpenSSH, you may fix this in your $HOME/.ssh/config file. Choose a port like 20022 or some such. # ------- cut here ------- Host desktop.my.domain # connections to my localhost:20022 will # forward to the SSH port on the # cvs-server.my.domain and port 20080 will # let met connect to the ViewVC running on it. LocalForward 20022 cvs-server.my.domain:22 LocalForward 20080 cvs-server.my.domain:80 ForwardAgent yes Host cvs-server.home.domain HostName localhost User work-username Port 20022 Host www-cvs-server.home.domain HostName localhost User work-username Port 20080 # ------- cut here ------- # You only need to do this once ssh -N -f -q desktop.my.domain CVS_RSH=ssh; export CVS_RSH # Now you can use normal CVS operations from home. cvs -d :ext:cvs-server.host/work/repository checkout modulename A visit to http://www-cvs-server.home.domain/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/ might now let you browse the repository if you are running viewvc (see www.viewvc.org) on a web server running on that host.
