Hi,
I am trying to set up ip tunnelling from a machine behind my firewall to a
destination address outside my firewall.
I got ssh1 and ssh2 running on my sparc 2.7 box.
I can do IP tunnelling via ssh2 by typing this command on the firewall:
ssh2 -L 5555:destination.ip.address:23 destination.ip.address
Then, from a node behind the firewall I'd type this command:
telnet firewall.ip.address 5555
This, of course, forwards my request to port 23 of the
destination IP address and gets me a login prompt at the
destination while also ensuring that I am protected via ssh.
When I try to do this with ssh1, I get a connection refused.
I am certain that this is due to the fact that ssh1 is compiled with tcp
wrappers.
My /etc/hosts.allow file contains this entry:
ALL: node.behind.firewall
This should allow any type of connection from my node behind the firewall
shouldn't it?
I looked at my ssh_config and sshd_config file and am not
sure if I need to adjust one of those files or if I need
to put a different entry in my /etc/hosts.allow file in
order to allow my connection from my machine behind the
firewall to my destination ip address.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Rich
