I tried this, but I don't think I was allowed to do it: ------------------------------------ [tim@martha ~]$ sudo ssh root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -p2001 -N -L993:localhost:993 The authenticity of host '[www.gayleard.com]:2001 ([86.43.71.228]:2001)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is .... Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added '[www.gayleard.com]:2001,[86.43.71.228]:2001' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx's password: Permission denied, please try again. root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx's password: ------------------------------------ However, I went ahead and changed the IMAPS server in kmail on my laptop to localhost; this gave the error "The server certificate failed the authenticity test (localhost)."
