Display setting with multiple gates

manojg · 12-22-2006, 01:00 PM

Hi,

Is it possible to setup display with multiple gates?

Like:

my computer -> gate1 -> gate2 -> remote computer

I want to setup display between my computer and remote computer.

Thanks for your help

sorry, but pleading ignorance, what's a "gate" in your world?

Sorry for confusion and thanks for your quick reply.
Here, I want to connect remote computer from my computer with ssh. But I can not connect directly because of security issue. First, I have to connect to gate1 (another computer) and from gate1 to gate2 (another computer) and then gate2 to remote computer.
Also, I want to get the display of remote computer to my computer.

yeah... connect to what and how?? some sort of proxy? clutching at straws but maybe you're looking for some sort of tunnel that ssh or stunnel could provide you with?

Sorry, I have no detail idea. What I do is connect by ssh like:

my computer: ssh gate1@host.edu
gate1: ssh gate2@host.edu
gate2: ssh remote_computer@host.edu

I have no idea other than this.

impressively vague....

right so yes i'd guess you can establish a reliable point to point tcp seesion by using an ssh tunnel to bounce twice through two different hosts. not fun, but possible. any standard howto on ssh tunneling, such as that in our tutorial section should give you the basics on how to establish each tunnel you require.
