I re-installed Fedora 8 and now I can get a reverse ssh tunnel (from
server to home) by typing on the server:

ssh -R 2022:server.ip:22 home@xxxxxxx

Then when at the home computer, I type:

ssh -p 2022 server@localhost
This works fine. The only problem is the connection always times out
even though I've changed the sshd_config files on both machines to keep
it alive. I've restarted the sshd daemon also. Not sure why the
connection keeps closing.

And the reason this is desirable? You can easily set iptables to accept ssh packets on 2022 from only your computer, and not run encryption through encryption. And if you want a real connection, OpenVPN is probably a better solution.


And if I had any control over any of this, that would be exactly what I
would do. But since I don't, this fits the bill.

Just be aware of the laws about unauthorized access to computers, and CYA. Something in writing might be nice, in case you ever need proof.
