Re: Is this port forwarding or something else

You will need "sshd_config" to allow host based authentication. That's
the only part that requires root access.

That is the kicker right there. I can't even grep that file.

But is there no way to set up somekind of threeway transfer where
control info comes from localhost using ssh-agent and data info is
moved between the 2 remotes? (A way that does not requre root privs)

As described in OP I can setup simple tunnels from local to either
remote.

So I'm asking how to setup a tunnel between rhost1 rhost2 and talk to
it from localhost.
