Is it just an accident of location that you are dealing with the data center people rather than the university IT dept? If not, I'd take the box home and start looking for a more helpful university. I can understand the data center not wanting unknown boxes on their LAN, but then that LAN shouldn't be your only choice. But, for a quick fix: could you set up some kind of VPN for your inbound connection other than ssh? IPSec, OpenVPN, CIPE, etc. and shut off all other services? Those would not respond to the port tests that found your ssh server, but you would need a matching client wherever you work. -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
