    Hi list.

    I'm using the -L option to set up an ssh tunnel to a remote host.

    I would like to be able to specify the local network device that ssh
    listens on. With the -g option, ssh will listen on the designated
    port on *all* local interfaces. Without the -g option, ssh will
    listen only on the loopback device. I would like to be able to get it
    to listen on a device that I nominate (e.g. a dummy network device, or
    a second loopback device).

    I know I can achive what I want by using the -g option and using
    ipchains to filter out connections on the devices that I don't want to
    listen on, but I was hoping there was a neater way.

    Thanks in advance,
    Josh
