Hello list, I don't know if this is a rather dump question or not. I've looked through the FAQ and through Rusty's guides. In the latter I found the text that 'it wasn't really supported' to do NAT on connections originating on the box itselfs.
Basically: i want to do this On my box X, i initiate an ssh connection to box Y on port 22. Before the connection is actually made the port must be 'rewritten' to 5000. (no, i can't use the ssh -p parameter), then the connection can be made. I've tried many different setups with rules, but I can't get it correct. If i'm correct it should be something like this: iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --destination dest.box.ip --dport 22 -j DNAT --to-destination dest.box.ip:5000 this rule repeated twice, once for UDP and once for TCP. IPTables accepts the input, but it doesn't work when I initate a connection with ssh dest.box.ip Any ideas/patches/... to try? Thanks! DK
