The task was to connect to port 1433 on a remote server running MS SQL Server via port 22 on a Linux machine that I have SSH access to, and which itself has access to port 1433.
It was actually pretty simple once I figured it out. The command, run on my local machine, was: $ ssh -f -N -L 10010:S:1433 [EMAIL PROTECTED] where S is the IP address of the SQL Server host and R is the IP address of the intermediary host. Then I can use dbbrowser (a nifty Java application I found somewhere) to connect to localhost:10010, and the connection is forwarded via port 22 to S. Then I can provide the login credentials to the database, and I'm in! (And yes, I've spoken to my boss, and this is all okay.) -- Richard S. Crawford http://www.mossroot.com
