I already have the keys setup in a way that allows me to do things like: [user@host ~]$ ssh -L 5555:localhost:5555 remote.host.com without having to enter a password. But now I have to maintain activity on the link so that the forwarding doesn't get dropped. =( I tried various combinations of -f -n and -S without success. I'm sure it is something straight forward. Any enlightment would be much appreciated. Thanks, -Steve -- ___________________________________________________________________________ Steve Shah (sshah@clickarray.com) | Developer/Systems Administrator/Author http://www.clickarray.com | Voice: 408.772.8202 (e-mail preferred) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beating code into submission, one OS at a time...
