Ah, I'm outta my depth talking about ssh. It "just works" :-) I run: /usr/bin/ssh -L 2525:domain:25 -l user -N domain from an init script, and use "/etc/init.d/sshTunnel restart" from my /etc/network/if-up.d/ directory. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
