Try changing the “localhost” in the script to the ip of the remote host.


ssh -g -L 3690:localhost:3689 [email protected]

If you try this on your laptop (after the script has set up the tunnel)


telnet localhost 3690

You should get a response like this back:


Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

If not there might be a firewall blocking your connection on the remote machine.

About the ssh password:
I would recommend you to set up ssh keys to handle the login. It is much more secure, since you will have to have the physical key (which is a file on your computer) to be able to log in to the remote host.
Here’s a page that shows you how to do it.
http://www.geektimes.com/macintosh/os/x/10_3/and/ssh_keygen.html
Just make sure to call the file authorized_keys (not authorized_keys2) and use rsa instead of dsa. (the first line in the instructions should read)


ssh-keygen -t rsa

The generated files will be id_rsa and id_rsa.pub instead of id_dsa.
Every time you log in to the remote computer you will be asked for the passphrase which is the password for the key.
The beauty of Leopard is that it will remember your ssh key passphrase in the keychain so you will be logged in to the remote without typing any password or passphrase. (depending on how you set up your keychain)[/code]
