When I am away from the office, I use SSH port forwarding to access
applications inside my company. However, I'm noticing on my new laptop
that gnome-2.6 becomes unusable (>2 minute delays to open gedit or
nautilus) when my SSH tunnels are up. No problems when SSH is
shutdown. Feels like a name resolution problem similar to localhost
missing from /etc/hosts.
Here is how I am evoking SSH w/port forwarding:
$ ssh -2 -L8080:localhost:80 -L25:smtp.mycompany.com:25
-L110:pop.myisp.com:110 -L111:pop.mycompany.com:110
me@ssh.mycompany.com
Explanation of ports:
8080: i proxy localhost:8080 to reach internal websites
25: forward my outbound mail to company's smtp gateway
110: localhost:110 pulls mail from my personal isp mailbox
111: localhost:111 pulls mail from my company's mailbox
I configure my web browsers to use proxy localhost:8080. I configure my
mail client (Evolution) to pull mail from localhost:110 and
localhost:111.
This all works fine, but while SSH is up gnome apps are painfully slow.
As soon as I close the SSH session, all the gnome apps I tried to start
suddenly pop up. Hmmm. Am I forwarding a port that gnome is trying to
use?
