# Problem

I need to get subversion access to a remote machine to which I cannot connect directly (firewall issues).

My Mac <=> "Linode3" (Ubuntu 10.04.4LTS) <=> "Triumph" (Fedora Core 5)
Local  <=> Proxy                         <=> Remote

# Setting up the tunnel:

ssh -L 1234:svnserver:4567 sportcentric
Linux linode3 3.4.2-linode44 #1 SMP Tue Jun 12 15:04:46 EDT 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
mmower@linode3:~$ channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed

# Local subversion configuration (~/.subversion/config)
[tunnels]
tssh = ssh -p 1234 -vvvv

# Using the tunnel
