[nylug-talk] SSH calling home

[Samat Jain]

Combine this with autossh (run on the firewalled box) to make sure the tunnel 
gets restarted if it dies for whatever reason:

# Always assume initial connection will be successful
export AUTOSSH_GATETIME=0
# Disable echo service, relying on SSH exiting itself
export AUTOSSH_PORT=0
autossh -f -- -o 'ControlPath none' -R 1234:localhost:22 remote-machine -fN

Why do "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing?
