Re: [PLUG] "ssh -X" through multiple hops

[Edward Pike <jondzpike@gmail.com>]

Try this

ssh -X -o ProxyCommand="ssh firewallhost nc insidehost 22" insidehost { command }

if it works and the double password prompt annoys you setup ssh public key on both the firewall and insidehost, but put the same ssh pub copy on both machines.

I want to be able to run an X application that is inside my firewall. I can

Can anyone give me some pointers?   TIA!
