I'm currently doing a field deployment (automated drill testing) and
have a problem I'd love an assist with.
We've had endless layers of frustration, starting with arriving to
find our workspace entirely unusable - piles of leaves and spiders
and... mess. Next, the network drop didn't work. Then the network
team hadn't been told about anything we needed - I'd been promised
that this was done. *sigh*
Now we have network access - one static and a handful of DHCP
connections. But - incoming connections are blocked. Two of our
primary programmers are in classes elsewhere and aren't on site, but
are needed to troubleshoot. The request for a static IP was so that
they could log in remotely. (We're currently working with them via
phone, which is frustrating at best.)
I can't make major system changes - and I'm hesitant to even install
anything, lest I screw us up in some weird way - better to fly them
out here than to screw things up more.
The system is linux (redhat).
I have a system (also redhat) in my lab at Ames that I can use. I'm
wary of making major changes to it since nobody there has access to
it. However, changes can be made to it.
Any thoughts about ways I could bounce my users in? I've been
thinking about tunneling one sshd through the other.. but haven't
tried it yet.
Y'all tend towards brilliance, I'd appreciate any ideas.
