And the "Other" way to do this, that just affects ssh, is in the ~/.ssh/config file: Host mailtunnel Hostname server004.mycluster.foo LocalForward 9110 mail.myhost.foo:110 LocalForward 9025 mail.myhost.foo:25 User benb That sets up port forwarding for tunneled POP3/SMTP also. ~Ben -- --- "Confession only helps if you actually feel bad for your actions.
