[SLUG] making SSH port forwarding externally available

Hello Sluggers: To workaround a local network misconfiguration, I am port forwarding a local port to a remote machine using ssh. This works for my local loopback address: 'localhost', but I would like to make the tunnel accessible to another person at work. (he doesn't use Linux but need to

Re: [SLUG] making SSH port forwarding externally available

Hello there On the subject of a 2 CPU motherboard for Linux, does anyone have advice to offer on recommended boards, where to buy one cheaply, overclocking, etc. Athlon SMP mobos seem vaporware at the moment, so I'm going the PIII route. Based on some websites reviews, I like the MSI 694D and

[SLUG] file listing problem

Re: [SLUG] file listing problem

`ls -l' prints the time of the last modification to the file; you can't get the creation time (it's not stored anywhere). `find' can also print the last modification time: find dir -name pattern -printf "%TH:%TM,%f\n" You're right - I was led astray by a non-concept (file creation time).
