SSH and tunneling
by Andy Stewart 02 Nov '01

02 Nov '01

HI gang, I would like to be able to setup some kind of tunnel so that I can use SSH to log into my machine at home and forward the X11 display. Currently, I can successfully SSH into my firewall, and from there either telnet or SSH into the machine of interest on my home network. This works OK for text but not for X. So, let's say for sake of argument that I am on a computer at the Linux Showcase in California. How can I set this up so that I can tunnel through my home firewall to the machine of interest on my home network and have the X display from the home machine forward to the machine at the conference? I think its just a matter of syntax on the SSH command line, but I can't seem to get it right. FYI, I'm using OpenSSH version 2.9.9p2, which I believe is the latest. Thanks in advance, Andy -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org

Hey, its a great read... And for the record, I'm using the Arcangeli VM and I like it better than the "Rik" VM... I hope Alan and Linus don't end up forking the kernel, I think it would be bad for linux. Tim. -----Original Message----- From: Brian J.

by Andy Stewart 02 Nov '01

02 Nov '01

HI everybody, I will be attending the Annual Linux Showcase in Oakland, CA on Nov 8 - Nov 10. Is anybody else from the group planning to attend? I'm flying out on Nov 3 to see relatives in Los Angeles, and then I'll fly up to Oakland for the conference. I'll be sure to have a trip report for you all at the next WLUG meeting on Wednesday, November 14th. If anybody else has a small presentation that they'd like to give to the group at the next meeting, please let me know before Friday night if possible. See ya later, Andy -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org

Hey I just checked slashdot and they took my submission about the VM (per Brians "An excellent read") I actually mentioned that I got the scoop from a fellow Lugger and mentioned WLUG, but it looks like they just gave me a name drop. Very cool non the less! Hey Brian, next time were in the Boyton, your beers payed for. Tim. aka "xturnip"

Re: [Wlug] More than 2 66mhz 64bit pci slots?

I don't think there are any. The best I know of is the Intel Quad Coppermine board used in their Koa (SRKA4) platform. Penguin sells that machine as the Relion 4500. VA used to sell it as the 4450. I'm sure you can still find someone offering it. The Intel STL2 and all of the other boards built around the ServerWorks chipset appear to only support 2 fast-wide slots. ccb

More than 2 66mhz 64bit pci slots?
by Keller, Tim 29 Oct '01

I've been looking around and I'm yet to find an x86 machine with more than 2 66mhz 64bit PCI slots. Does anybody know of such a machine (with 4 or more 66mhz 64bit PCI slots) they can be on separate PCI buses. Thanks, Tim.

Re: [Wlug] oh crud, ext3 has screwed my /home directory!

Just a thought about the command, If you are still logged in at root. Would your command history be available. Perhaps, you can print out the command history file and post it. We are looking for the file /root/.bash_history. Bob Condon
