All steps may not be required....
Authored by: Brock Lee on Jan 30, '03 06:01:04PM
I wonder whether the second invocation of ssh is necessary.

After the first invocation of

    % ssh -C goBetweenIP_Address -R 10407:localhost:407 -l username


wouldn't one be able to invoke Timbuktu with goBetweenIP_Address:10407?

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried, and it doesn't seem to work for me,but I'll play with the idea though and see what I come up with.

However, the great thing about the suggestion as I wrote it is, it doesn't matter where you are relative to the server. From any two points in the world that have internet access, a tunnel can be set up that circumvents firewalls, NATting and routing.

I understand that what you suggest might make the connection easier from my end ? within the company, but if I were making the same connection from home, behind my Airport, through the go-between, to another remote location, I would want both ends of the connection to pass through an ssh tunnel.
