Re: secure ODBC connection

Hi Mike,

I understand now... but i still have a problem on server side :-)

When i start the tunnel on back-end side:

ssh -N -L 3333:myserver.myorg.com:5432 relay(at)myserver(dot)myorg(dot)com

it starts to listen on port 3333 of the 127.0.0.1 host (lo). If i try to
connect to myserver.myorg:3333 from the outside, the connection is refufed
because the tunnel does not work on the network interface's address (es.
192.168.0.1), but only on the lo interface.
How can i "export" that tunnel to the outside.

Thaks in advance,

Regards,
Silvio
