This would be the real value. It would be VERY useful to tunnel Windows clients with minimal effort. It'd be even nicer if it were stand-alone; that is, if it did not require a separate SSH implementation to be installed on the Windows machine. Many of the users who one wants to tunnel into a LAN remotely do not have shell accounts, and giving them such accounts can compromise security and/or be confusing to them. Using SSH 2 (which doesn't require a shell account for port redirection) would be a good way to do this. --Brett Glass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
