Need help with OpenSSH
I'm new at running OpenSSH. I'm trying to tunnel through my work's proxy server with SSH. I'm trying to use WinVNC to get to my computer at home and use some programs that I need for work. Nobody in the IT department can help, because well.... let's face it.... they are all sittin' back drinking some iced caramel machiattos from Barney's, heating up their pizza hot pockets and lounging around reading Wired magazine. Basically too busy to bother with me, but I've gotten the go ahead with whatever I need to do.
I need to know how to run a basic connection from host which is running through a router and a client that is behind a basic gateway/proxy server. I'm going to use port forwarding on my router at home to run to the host IP. That I should have covered, however, it is basically getting the user account setup.
I've tried doing this with the standard OpenSSH Binary Install from SourceForge. I installed the basic files and then ran mkpasswd in the directory from the CMD line. This is the syntax I have used, is it correct?:
mkpasswd -l -u username >> password
I think that I have set it up correctly, but just am not sure. I am going to use PuTTY at work to connect to the SSH server. Hopefully this will work after of course setting up openssh with netstart in Windows (and rebooting to concrete all the settings into place).
Does this all look good or am I missing something? I hate wasting a day of work not getting things done at home when I can. Also, yes I have tried using WinVNC and UltraVNC at work using Java. However, I do not have administrative access to the computer at work so I cannot install the Java update from Sun. And no I can't ask the admins to do it, because of the aforementioned dillema.
Any pointers?
