Picking up an old thread...

Would like to use this to do a port forward. Today, I have a little
Squeak app that talks to a MySQL database on the other side of a
forwarded SSH port. I'm on windows, so I use plink (command line
PuTTY):

C:\bin\plink.exe -ssh -P 22 -l username -pw password -L
3306:mySqlServerIpAddress:3306 -N sslServerIpAddress

(with placeholders for username, password, and the 2 IP addresses)

This works, but I'd like to get an all Squeak solution (easier for me
to deploy). Hopefully easier to keep up (plink goes away
periodically).

I started with:

SSH runBy: 'username' to: 'sslServerIPAddress' port: 22

The first issue was the server wanted a password and I hadn't
specified one. I couldn't find the appropriate place to hook in a
password, so I hardcoded my password into this method:

SSHUserAuthClientWaitingForResponse>>#sendPasswordUserAuthRequest

	| requestMsg |
	requestMsg := SSHUserAuthRequestMessage new
		userName: self connection userName;
		serviceName: 'ssh-connection';
		methodName: 'password';
		subMsg: (SSHUserAuthPasswordRequestSubMessage new
"------>"          password: 'password'; "was  password: self
connection password"
                     yourself);
		yourself.
	self machine sendMsg: requestMsg.

That worked (I get the banner from the server), but I know I need to
find where the connection is set up to provide the password.

Even with that hack in place,I get errors every time I type any
character into the Teletype Morph. I suspect this is because the
server isn't expecting a shell (-N).

So my questions are:
1. Can you use this to forward a port? If so, do you have an example?
2. Where to set password if the server is expecting one (non-interactive).
