[Haskell-cafe] RE: ssh ports for monk and nun?

  Trying to get ssh working via putty from behind my company 
 firewall.
 
 My recommendation is to get access to an outside machine where you run
 an OpenVPN server on port 80 or 443.  This will solve it once and for
 all.
 But first, please complain loudly and repeatedly about the firewall
 being closed to port 22.

Tried and failed. Our firewall will be closed to port 22 for the
forseaable future. I'll give the OpenVPN thing a go, if I can find some
time.

I'm wondering about a couple of things:

 1. how many people (in the haskell community) have the same problem?
How have they solved or worked around the problem?

 2. is it possible to run SSH daemons on monk and nun on ports 80 or
443? I'm wondering both from a technical feasability POV, and also an
administrative POV i.e. if it were technically feasible, would the
admins be open to the idea, if there was sufficient demand?

Thanks,
Alistair

Trying to ask how to pierce your company's firewall in a public
mailing list, even from your company's email address, may not be
advisable.

Well, I wasn't necessarily looking for that kind of advice, more along
the lines of how to work with what I have (which is ports 80 and 443,
via an http proxy server).

I have been able to use CVS+SSH with sourceforge in the past, because
they had cvs servers that listened for SSH connections on port 443.

 Trying to get ssh working via putty from behind my company firewall.
 Had some success in the past with sourceforge because they had ssh
 daemons listening on ports 80 and 443, to aid prisoners like myself.
 Does anyone know if the monk (darcs.haskell.org) and nun
 (code.haskell.org) servers accept ssh on ports other than 22?

I should also have said: I'm open to suggestions and advice on using
darcs+cabal+ssh with restrictive firewalls and http proxies. I
currently have cntlm (an authenticating proxy server) installed, so I
can use cabal (and darcs get will work with this too), but I want to
be able to push patches too.
