I've got a background job running on my system at work in a loop that has its own copy of an ssh-agent to stash the keys and loops running ssh -N to forward a bunch of ports to my home system and sleep 30 seconds and try again if the ssh dies because it lost the connection. (I also have fanatical big public keys and firewall rules to make sure only a system from work can connect to home :-). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
