[p4] client on secured network

[Paul Goffin]

You don't need any of this, surely?

If port 22 is open for SSH, just run the p4 server on port 22.

The syntax is a little clunky, but ssh will do what you want.

PORT=1666
SERVER=200.220.18.7
USER=joe
ssh -L ${PORT}:localhost:${PORT} ${USER}@${SERVER}

Then point your p4 client to localhost:${PORT}.  The local
port ${PORT} will be forwarded to the port localhost:${PORT}
on the machine ${SERVER}.

As long as the SSH connection stays active the tunnel will be up.
