Re: Port forwarding confusion

hi,

I'm bit new this feature as well, and I find this situation bit
irritating. the same bounce off box can be used to tunnel any part but
in my understanding to tunnel a privilege port (<1024) from a middle
box you'll need to do it with the root user of the ssh proxy. So
following command will looks like...

$ ssh root$SSHPROXY -L993:MAILSERVER:2993

may be someone can give a logical explanation to this.

Hello all,

I have a hard time getting the following situation sorted out and would
appreciate any input to solve it.
I'm in a firewalled LAN which provides a ssh-proxy to access outside machines
which I have to use like so:

1) build tunnel
ssh ProxyUser@SSHPROXY -L 2022:OUTSIDEBOX:22

2) make connection
ssh -X OutsideboxUser@localhost -p 2022

What I now wish to do is to access an outside mailserver (especially port 993)
through this proxy and am stuck how to conceptually do this - build another
tunnel through the tunnel?

If anybody can nudge me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

Johannes
