So if the two end machines can't see each other, this won't work. And if you can't arrange to get the password/key/passphrase for the home machine from the middle machine to the office machine, this won't work. -Jason ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?" -- Mike Godwin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: See https://private.idealab.com/public/jason/jason.gpg iD8DBQE8qBpAswXMWWtptckRAqsOAKC0t+GNNMdAjTdKUg8tnZZpufY7FgCeL+Wa mhRBDWibIk7otIiNYfILxC0= =cv6D -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
