ssh

[Michael Havens]

So then it would be

     ssh -L localhost:5050:?

where would I tunnel empathy too? I mean empathy is on this machine,,,, I
just want to make it available to everyone. Should I put an astriks  there?

Then I suppose for an address to tunnel to I would put the yahoo server
address (scsa.msg.yahoo.com). Is this right? Would it look like this:

     ssh -L localhost:5050:* scsa.msg.yahoo.com

I am so grateful for the help:)

One further question, which file would I put this line into to make it
available to all users? Right now there is only me but who knows in the
future!

Port = a port on your local computer to use to represent the foreign
service.  So in your above case, the 5050 would be your local port and the
service would be available as localhost:5050
