= SSH Tunnel =
A secure shell (SSH) tunnel consists of an encrypted tunnel created through a SSH protocol connection. Users may set up SSH tunnels to transfer unencrypted traffic over a network through an encrypted channel.

= autossh =
Autossh is a program to start a copy of SSH and monitor it, restarting it as necessary should it die or stop passing traffic.

autossh -M 0 -L 8080:localhost:8080 example.com -g

Install:
 * cd /tmp
 * wget autossh-1.4c.tgz
 * tar xvzf autossh-1.4c.tgz 
 * cd autossh-1.4c
 * ./configure
 * make
 * make install

== Netbios SSH tunnel ==
Entities:
 * SSH server: 10.1.1.123
 * user on ssh server: root
 * Netbios server (Samba): 192.168.3.4
 * SSH client: 192.168.3.15
 * Ports 139 and 445 on Netbios server
 * Ports 139 and 445 must be free in the SSH server

The SSH server on the file '''/etc/ssh/ssh_config''' must have '''GatewayPorts yes'''.

The SSH client must be able to reach the SSH server and the netbios server.

On the ssh client, issue the following commands:
 * ssh root@10.1.1.123 -R 139:192.168.3.4:139 sleep 99999 
 * ssh root@10.1.1.123 -R 445:192.168.3.4:445 sleep 99999 

Now the Netbios server can be reached through ports 139 and 445 in the SSH server.

== MS SQL Server tunnel ==
On the ssh client, issue the following commands:
 * ssh root@10.1.1.123 -R 1433:192.168.3.113:1433 sleep 99999
