asked on

using ssh to tunnel a service?

say I have two boxes A and B
A is able to use CVS and CVSup
B is not.
is there anyway I can use ssh
to make it seem to B that the
correct ports are open by tunneling
ports on B to A?

I do not want to just do all my cvsing
on A and export it with NFS or the like.

Thanks.

CVS can be setup using ssh: set environment variable CVS_RSH ssh, the cvs server must be using the pserver protocol
