See the man page section for the -R option to map a remote port to a local port. It complements the -L option, which does the opposite. I don't believe there's a reverse analogue to the -D option though (SOCKS proxy through the remote end), so you're stuck with port mapping. You can also do sick stuff like ppp-over-ssh. Or sensible stuff like OpenVPN. :-) - Jeff -- OSCON 2008: Portland OR, USA http://conferences.oreilly.com/oscon/ "I believe in true love.
