           Summary: add description how to run a ssh tunnel without a full
                    shell on the remote site
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: older versions
          Platform: All
               URL: http://www.openssh.org/manual.html
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: hauser at acm.org


Application example:
Shared hosting of a cvs repository.
In http://www.cvshome.org/docs/ddSSHGuideCygwin.html, there is a good
description, how to tunnel in general, but this requires a shell on the server-side.

For security reasons, hosting providers who are willing to run a cvs for you may
well not like you having full shell access on a shared server and thus don't
like that. I have heard that there are approaches to do without a full shell?

Or maybe as an additional question to: http://www.openssh.org/faq.html ?
