Greg,

You could run ipf (IP Filter) on the Sun box to do this without setting up
a dedicated FW in front of the Sun box or like myself, use exceed over ssh
on a windows box. In fact I run both but use exceed because you can render
your unix desktop in a decent resolution without a performace hit
(Windowmaker & enlightenment need good resolutions). The latter (exceed
solution) is much easier to setup however you need to use windows ** DUCK
** ;-) (I have written a mini-howto that I could forward on if you want).
You can get more information on ip filter at

Hope this helps

Rgds

Nick

My colleague came across the following within one of Sun's Newsgroups:

[snip]
Xsun currently provides no way to disable listening for TCP connections.
If you need to worry about keeping people from connecting to the port,
you will need to use some sort of firewall software to block them.
[snip]

Does it mean that the only way to *effectively* pipe X via SSH port 22 is
to
set up a FW in front of the Sun box blocking port 6000? Any other
ideas/solutions?

Thank you,
Greg Saoutine
