Sorry people i had a session open when was doing final testing which was
hidden behind other windows.
Correction to below is you may get an error when trying to ssh -L
13722:localhost:13722 etc when sshing to the backup server itself. I
seemed to get some 'channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited:
open failed' error.
It does work when sshing to another machine and using the redirect as
below as i mentioned in the email. This works and has saved me a lot of
grief.
ssh -L 13722:<ip of backup server>:13722 -L 13724:<ip of backup
server>:13724 -C <ip of machine you can ssh to and has access to backup
server without the port restrictions from your admin laptop or wherever>
Thanks

I admin things remotely and need to admin various netbackup
installations. I have ssh access through to the backup servers but
very rarely am allowed the Java gui ports open so i can use the client
software installed on my laptop.
What i have been trying to do is to redirect this all through ssh to i
can point my gui to localhost and it forward requests through to the
remote java gui on the backup server and all come up with much faster
speed.
If you normally run an Xclient and ssh -X -C [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
run /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/jnbSA & then this will be for you as that
method is beyond slow in my experience.
Ok, all i have had to do is this from my laptop.
ssh -L 13722:localhost:13722 -L 13724:localhost:13724 <ip of backup
server>
Then create a hosts entry on my laptop for 127.0.0.1 <name of backup
server>
Then in the gui i just say server is <name of backup server> ( which
is really localhost ) and it forwards things through and works.
You could also tunnel to a machine which doesnt have any restrictions
between that and the backup server if you cant get to the backup
server directly.
ssh -L 13722:<ip of backup server>:13722 -L 13724:<ip of backup
server>:13724 <machine have access to>
Hope this helps people admin better :)
