I stopped running a script about a years ago.  gStm is your friend for
tunnels  GUI tunnel interface..  Its in most repositories.  yum, apt-get
or rpm will get you running in seconds..  I maintain a outbound port 25
tunnel to the server 24/7.  It takes about 10 seconds to setup a tunnel
and a click to get it up.  The server thinks I am on the box.. most cool..
My outbound mail profile is set to port 2525 I then tunnel to 25 on the
server..  Fred
