Re: KMail "precommand"
Quoting Jay Kline <list@slushpupie.com>:
| I have been trying to set up ssh tunneling for my POP accounts, and have had
|
| no success as of yet.
What is the utility of using this kind of "precommand" ?
If I am right, you are trying to connect to a pop/ssl account, and kmail
already knows howto do that.
Just create a pop account and set the 'security' options.
| On KDE3 I can use the precommand
|
| ssh -f -x -L1100:127.0.0.1:110 user@mailhost "sleep 15 && exit"
Take a look at the -N option of ssh
BTW if you really want a tunnel you should try stunnel
| with the host field set to localhost and port to 1100. And that works great
|
| (the sleep is to allow enough time for KMail to open the connection before it
|
| closes). But when I try the same thing on KDE2.2.2 (Kmail 1.3.2) it fails,
|
| saying it cannot connect to localhost. Is this a bug in the older Kmail
| clients or is the behavior different? Does anyone know if Kmail's precommand
|
| requires an interactive session or if backgrounding ssh is the proper thing
|
| to do?

Hope this helps,
