RE: [MLUG] Campus VPN

["Pepper, Mike" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I can see where you are getting confused. I neglected to mention that I
have rules set up to where it only accepts ssh traffic from campus
accounts.
I would rather pain myself with the extra step of authenticating via a
VPN client than open ssh up to the rest of the world.

I'm confused -- when Clark Hall switched to Tigernet2 we moved MLUG and 
a machine for my department to the data center so they _would_ be 
accessible from outside.  Some ports (like SMTP) are firewalled unless 
you make arrangements, but SSH shouldn't be a problem.

Autossh http://www.harding.motd.ca/autossh/ makes it pretty easy to 
connect to machines behind Tigernet2, if that's what you're asking.
