The command above clearly indicates that I want to start a client. I doubt that I can forward ports from "inka" to my local computer using a deamon. > Supposing you meant a ssh client I guess you should start a > xterm for the ssh. The following worked on my computer: > > + "QQQ: forward inka ports" Exec xterm -e ssh -N \ > -L1119:news.inka.de:119 -L1125:mail.inka.de:25 \ > -L1110:mail.inka.de:110 inka.de Sure, this will work. However, I don't want to start an xterm but redirect the output to a log file instead. Note that I use the ssh connection just for port forwarding, not for any interaction.
