thanks to everybody who droped me a lign. I eventually tried it with rinetd and I works just perfect. Cool thing, but why isn't it mentioned anywhere in the firewall section of the Book that comes with the 6.4 distro?
:-) Write to the author! Good idea. Another trick: Suppose I'm on host "hostA" and I want to forward all SMTP connections to "hostB", port 2500: root@hostA:~ # ssh -f -g -L 25:hostB:2500 hostA /bin/sleep 999999999 (*) (*): long enough...
anyway, thanks & enjoy the weekend
