This way you can read your mail via command line mailreader _on server_ or even with X-forwarding with a GUI one, but what command you want to use to stream POP3-Session-Data through this SSH-tunnel? For using the SSH-tunnel you have to connect to the local side of SSH connection. Now issue a POP3-Login 'user xyz\npass noway\n' ... what should the SSH-server (daemon) do with this commands? How shall SSHD know you want to connect to WHAT server on e.g. port 110? I don't know how this can be done, I may stand corrected by a SSH freak, but in my daily use of SSH I haven't found any other practical aspect than (secure) remote login and (secure) remote command execution (with X-forwarding even more practical, as I use an X-server for windows and therefore be able to use 'real' xterm windows :-) ). -- Regards Peter Palmreuther mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (The Bat! v1.54/10e on Windows NT 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2) Every program is a part of some other program, and rarely fits. -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
