Run the sshd on box with a -p flag to specify on which port the sshd will listen. On box2, run ssh with the -p option to specify the port to which the client will attempt to connect. The port numbers must match, of course, and must be a number between 1024 and 65535. On box1, if they use shadow passwords, you will not be able to use password authentication because the sshd is not running as root. -- Gregor Mosheh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems Admin, Humboldt Internet 707.825.4638 On Sat, 20 May 2000, Darren Wyn Rees wrote: > Here is what I'm trying to achieve with ssh, > and I'd appreciate your comments (as I can't > as yet figure what I'm doing wrong). > > [box1] I'm an ordinary user > [box2] I own this, it's my home machine. > > I connect to the Internet from [box2] via > an ISP that restricts certain ports, however > I need 'telnet-type' access to [box1] to do > certain things. > > I'm told that I can circumvent this restriction, > by running sshd on [box1], listening on a certain > port, and logging in via ssh from [box2]. > > Thereafter, I'm hazy on the details.
