Hi Thaths,
Which firewall is this? In the simplest case, you have to put some
portforwarding rule like this on the firewall box (using ipportfw if
the firewall is a Linux box, YMMV on other firewalls):
Map src <anything>:<anything> dest localhost:22000
to <machineB>:22
Now ssh -p 22000 firewall and voila! you are connected to machine B's
ssh port. Do anything ssh can after that.
I've used this and it worketh like a charmeth. The firewall was
(needless to say) a Linux box with ipchains and ipportfw.
Regards,
