Hi Jan, > Besides that it works for me, just what are you trying to accomplish > that you need to rewrite it to "lo"? Well, it's just a quick hack that I thought would be interesting if it worked. I have an outgoing ssh tunnel, but my sshd listens on 127.0.0.1 when the tunnel is initiated from the remote client. I can't connect to the remote client from another remote machine because ssh sits on lo and not on eth0 or ppp0. Since my ppp0 has a dynamic IP I can't hardwire the listen address into sshd.conf - trying to listen on 0.0.0.0 didn't work either. Anyway, that's off-topic, I just wanted to see if I can rewrite the route and make it magically route the packets to my remote machine. Thank you! Andi
