Problems tunneling Synergy

[jcllings]

So I've two Ubuntu boxes, a laptop and a dekstop. I have synergy set up between them but the fly in that ointment, of course, is security.

I want to tunnel the connection using autossh but I can't get it to work to save my life... and I've done it successfully before. What I'm afraid of is that there's something new, as in security settings, out there that I don't know about. :-/

Synergy config:

 
  section: screens
        clientmachine:
                halfDuplexCapsLock = false
                halfDuplexNumLock = false
                halfDuplexScrollLock = false
                xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
                switchCorners = none
                switchCornerSize = 0
        servermachine:
                halfDuplexCapsLock = false
                halfDuplexNumLock = false
                halfDuplexScrollLock = false
                xtestIsXineramaUnaware = false
                switchCorners = none
                switchCornerSize = 0
 end

 section: aliases
     clientmachine:
             cm
     servermachine: 
             sm
             localhost
 end

 section: links
        clientmachine:
                right = servermachine
                left = servermachine
        servermachine:
            right = clientmachine
                left = clientmachine
 end

 section: options
        relativeMouseMoves = false
        screenSaverSync = true
        win32KeepForeground = false
        switchCorners = none
        switchCornerSize = 0
        keystroke(Control+Alt+Home) = lockCursorToScreen(toggle)
 end

Command to start server:

synergys -c synergyconfig

Command to start client:

/usr/bin/synergyc --daemon --name cm sm

So on the client machine I've tried:

1886 ssh -f -N -L localhost:24800:sm:24800 sm
1909 ssh -f -N -R localhost:24800:sm:24800 sm
1921 ssh -L 24800:sm:24800 sm
1922 ssh -f -L 24800:sm:24800 sm
1923 ssh -f -N -L 24800:sm:24800 sm
1928 ssh -vv -N -L localhost:24800:sm:24800 sm
1946 ssh -f -N -L localhost:24800:sm:24800 sm
1952 ssh -f -N -L 24800:sm:24800 sm
1956 ssh sm -f -N -L 24800:sm:24800
1982 ssh sm -f -N -L 24800:sm:24800

Solved with following info:

http://synergy-foss.org/wiki/Securit...s_with_autossh

Using same config, client start command is:

/usr/bin/synergyc --daemon --name cm localhost

Server start command is same.

Client side autossh command:

autossh -f -N -q -L 24800:localhost:24800 sm
