I have a box behind a firewall that I'd like to administer.  The
firewall allows outgoing connections, but blocks all incoming
connection requests.  Thus, behind the firewall I can ssh out
to my server, but I can't do the reverse.   I found Sebastian
Krahmer's OpenSSH Reverse [1] which looks very promising, but
it is a few revisions behind.   I was wondering if anyone has
considered integrating this with the OpenSSH code base.  It
seems like such a useful feature... 
Best,
Clark

    Patched OpenSSH (cl+sv) for tunneling firewalls
    (client connects to server)
