[Twisted-Python] help ssh forwarding.

[Oisin Mulvihill]

Hi,

I've just spotted an error in my email, which could cause confusion.
The line:

...the command "ssh -R11122:my_server:22 user at my_server"...

should read:

...the command "ssh -R11122:localhost:22 user at my_server"...

Just to clear it up, this is what I'm trying to do in twisted.
This should allow me to do ssh -p 11122 localhost on my server
and it will the connect back into the kiosk machine.

ssh forwarding always messes with my head,
