Hi,
I once saw an example of port forwarding using netcat and inetd, i think it involved
setting up a listening netcat as the application, using inetd to bind it to a specific
port and then forwarding the connection onwards to the ip and/or port where you want
it to go, something like this:
service geofwd
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/nc
server_args = 192.168.124.38 1005
log_on_failure += USERID
}
not sure if this is what you want :-)
