[ale] ssh -R (was Re: Have I been hacked?)

[Chris Kleeschulte]

I use -R extensively to open "holes" in a firewall. It works nicely  
since I have to deal with customers that are behind nat devices all  
the time and I cannot or will not login to the admin  account on the  
router.


I just email them a small program that does this. I wrote an article  
on this:
