Hi, this is just a little note. In /etc/init.d/functions of the BOEL initrd, in the function start_ssh(), if I want to use a ssh tunnel, a long sleep (4 hours) is remotely executed on the server to keep the connection alive.
I think it could be better to use this command: ssh -l $SSH_USER -N -f -L873:127.0.0.1:873 $IMAGESERVER $REDIRECTION_OPTIONS In this case ssh doesn't execute any remote command on the server (-N option), so the connection is kept until the client explicitly kill the task (or reboots) and no tasks are created on the server... this is only a client-side application. Moreover this solution allows to create in the image server a user reserved exclusively to port-forwarding, forbidding the remote login; we can do this by creating a user with /sbin/nologin as the default shell (in /etc/passwd). Bye, Andrea. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
