I do this for my imap servers all the time, which is why if you check the headers, my e-mail or posts always originate in Akron, Ohio, no matter where in the world ( literally ) I really am. There are some caveats, though. The connecting TTY needs to stay up, else the tunnel collapse without some additional ssh tricks. Although the connection looks local, it's not. It is across the network, though the daemon will never see it. In this case, the command would be ssh -L 3306:localhost:5526 destination where destination is the machine name of the mysql server machine. ( or IP ) The authorized user then supplies the password, and the forward is established. Or, you pre-set the auth keys in the appropriate files. The connection then looks local from both ends of the tunnel. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com "My weight is perfect for my height -- which varies" _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
