SSH tunnel question

[Steven W. Orr]

Sometimes I just get lucky here. :-)

I'd like to present a scenario, but I'd like people to please *NOT* 
bore me with the security implications of what I *want* to do. I'm happy 
to hear about what might make it better, but I'm aware of what's wrong 
with it (or how it might appear to you) from a security perspective.

I go to work every day and I log into my linux computer at home from my 
linux desktop at work. I use ssh and everything works just fine. My 
computer at home is on the net on a public address so I have no visibility 
problems. But because of lots of things, Nat is not the least of them, I 
don't see my work 'puter from home.

I'd like to establish a tunnel from work to home so that if I wanted to I 
can then get access from home. I'm thinking that ssh has this capability 
but i never learned how to do it. Does anyone know how to do this? Or is 
there a better way besides ssh?

P.S. BTW, the reason for my first paragraph is because sometimes when a 
question is asked, the first person to answer it can take it in the wrong 
direction, and then the asker never gets the answer he's looking for.

Thanks everyone. :-)
