Jon, I see now. And to your answer, yes, you can su and do that. No one will be able to (in theory) listen in on your line and understand a word of what you are doing between your server and you. I do "su" all the time when I "ssh" into my machine. By the way, I have a question for you <sheepish grin>. What OS do you "ssh" to your machine with and with what software? I find myself "ssh" from Windows 98/NT and I use Telneat. Thanks Now we can both continue to...

I am trying to connect to a sever (anonymizer.com) via ssh, and with port forwarding, but when I do this as user I get an error from ssh that says privelaged ports (80) can only be forwarded by root. My question is, how can I do this in user mode or is it ok to su and do this? ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://home.netscape.com/webmail
