Summary: SSH through firewall

["Ginsberg Rainer (QI/INF4) *" <Rainer.Ginsberg () de bosch com>]

Some time ago I asked you wizards about the security 
of ssh from a trusted network to a untrusted network 
through a firewall. Thanks to all who responded.

This is my summary:

1) Most security threats come from insiders.
2) The -R option allows insiders to forward all kind of 
   traffic from the untrusted network to the trusted 
   network.
3) There is no ssh proxy for application gateways that 
   is able to disallow the -R option of ssh.

Therefore, I will not allow ssh through "my" firewall.

Rainer
