I actually do this. I have a sequence of ssh's executed at a time, as in an Xfce shortcut running "wterm -bg gray -e ssh -C -t host1 ssh -C t host2 ssh -C targethost" to pierce multiple walls (all of which I need to have an account on, of course). I don't see what the problem with this is, considering I have login access on host1, host2 and targethost, and that everything is properly encrypted along the way (I use public/private keys so that I don't send my password out in tunneled cleartext). Perhaps the more experienced admins can comment? --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : http://jijo.free.net.ph : When we speak of free Network Administrator : The Leather Collection, Inc. : software we refer to GnuPG Key ID : 0x93B746BE : freedom, not price. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
