SSH Feedback

After bantering about our upcoming travels to Waynesville, Missouri and Toronto, Ontario and a little griping about zipit segmentation faults, we get into your feedback on recent SSH segments.

Dzaztur recommends Gnome SSH Tunnel Manager. It's a sleek front-end for managing SSH tunnels, port redirects and more. Tunnel configuration is stored in a simple XML formal, great for portability, and the tunnels can be managed individually through one simple GUI. Thanks for the tip Dzaztur

Lozo points out that Mac OS-X has SSH built into the terminal, much like Linux. So true. We banter with Paul-the-camera-guy about the Mac OS-X kernel, which turns out is XNU -- an accronym for X is Not Unix. So there ya go!

Sp4m says if you're running Firefox over SSH you might want to look into remote DNS lookups. By default DNS lookups aren't done through the proxy. This can be resolved by typing about:config in the address bar, and enabling the network.proxy.socks_remote_dns setting. Thanks Sp4m.
