Re: Re: secure remote command

You mean makes a valid request to the outside world. How can you have a connection if you're not connected ;)

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.

The way that I run dial-on-demand ppp it appears from the clients to be a permanent connection. The ppp daemon takes care of dialing when someone needs a connection and dropping the line when it is not busy, but this is transparent to the machines that use the gateway. The distinction I was attempting to draw was that my firewall rules only masquerades the current "valid" systems to the outside world (which ones are valid is controlled by a Perl script naturally).
