Has anyone ever set up SuSE (I'm using v9) as a server inside of a private LAN, and accessed it while on the public internet? I need to do something like have the SuSE server act as an SSH tunnel termination point, and provide access to the internal LAN whilst I'm connected on the public Internet.

If you were to go to www.vandyke.com and look at their VShell SSH server, this is what I'd like to do without the cost of such server software.

Thanks for any suggestions,

I have done this... by doing this: 1) The network setup was: internet --> DSL modem --> Router --> all boxes on internal LAN 2) I put sshd on all boxes and used a high port > 10000 for all ssh (a little harder for someone to find) 3) In the Router, I did a port forward of that high port to one of the boxen. 4) Once you get into that port-forward box, you can ssh to the other boxes. The key is to get your ssh 'call' forwarded to one of the internal LAN boxes. Either your firewall or a Router could do that for you. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
