on the topic of ssh tunnelling.... my friend has an analogue leased line (probably outdated overseas, but this is south afirca so <dot dot dot>).
the connection isn't _that_ fast as you can imagine if compared to diginet lines, but someone told me running a end to end ssh tunnel would speed things up (i think with the ssh compression on top of the ppp compression). can anyone validate this? or any other recommendations? i think i might have been told about something called XTM? not sure if it is the correct name, as i got told about it 2 weeks ago, and can't remember if it definitely called that. thanks, stephen On Tue, 15 Jul 2003, Mike Cramp wrote: > Hi Jose, > > You need to add the -g option to allow remote hosts to connect to the > port. > > Mike > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > mikecc ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > grep mikecc /etc/passwd|cut -d":" -f5|sed s/,,,// > > > On Mon, 14 Jul 2003, Jose Guevarra wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I was using SSH to encrypt a VNC session.

The Gartner Group just put Neoteris in the top of its Magic Quadrant, while InStat has confirmed Neoteris as the leader in marketshare. Find out why, and see how you can get plug-n-play secure remote access in about an hour, with no client, server changes, or ongoing maintenance.
