It means that I use my computer on a home adsl connection as a ssh tunnel and that I let some friends use it as well but I don't want them to abuse. What we are doing is connecting to the ssh server with some ssh client, it creates a socks proxy on our local computers, we configure our programs to connect to the local proxy and everything is forwarded trough the ssh tunnel. I mean, I don't know if there's another way to do it without having to login in the ssh server. > This sounds like an obfuscated utmp(5) > > Yeah, utmp sounds useful for this.
