Not to be overly critical but - why - is this in the TOP3 of HN? It's a totally^Wrather incomplete^Wnice `intro` to SSH, ok. Aside from this......

~/.ssh/config:

# This is maybe useful if you get dropped all the time

# due to stricter SSHd rules.

ServerAliveInterval 60

# Instead of tunneling always with the CLI directly why not

# make a entry in your ssh config to make it easy, e.g.

HostName your.companies.host

User username

LocalForward 9999 clients.oracle.server.name:1521

# You can also use "Port" if the SSHd is on a non 22 port

On the CLI:

# Does all the tunneling automatically

ssh your.companies.host




I agree completely. The post is nothing more than a "hey, if you're not using ssh for these two things, maybe take a look." I went this route because there are so many other full fledged introductions to ssh, that I thought it'd almost be a waste of my time. I'm sorry that reading it wasted yours.
