SSH & Muds (Was Re: [CIRCLE] Thoughts on PjD's Offline World Editor)

You can tunnel ssh through almost anything. I had set this up at one
stage, but I can't remember off hand how to do it. I have vague memories
of doing a script to accept connections on one port, and tunnel it through
ssh to the mud port. Basically like a proxy. I know that it didn't take
more than 15 minutes to do (and didn't involve any modification to the mud
code). The reason I didn't use it in the end was because, like any proxy,
a players hostname came up as the proxy (i.e. localhost) rather than their
actual address.

Hope this helps.
