I just wanted to report that MyEnTunnel seemed like the best suggestion out of the lot for a native, free Windows way of doing it. I got it to work with plink with profiles and everything, but I could never get it to work as a service. The service would run, and it would start plink, but then plink would die with a connection error (hard to discern any specifics since the windows event log errors were quite limited). I tried for a couple of days and made several valiant attempts, and even tried mailing the author (no response). In the end, I installed cygwin and had autossh up and working with sshd and reverse tunnels to my public host in a couple of hourse. They persisted across reboots and everything. I suspect there was a permission/registry key problem that manifested only when running as the Local Service account that didn't happen when it was running as my other account. Oh well, the machine is on the way and I blogged about the solution at lopsa.org since it's quite the bit of hackery (rdesktop over reverse tunnel forwarding over outbound vzw auto-launched wifi using a NAT'd access point with VZW PCMCIA card as transport) Doug _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
