[ale] showmount and mount do nothing....

[John Wells]

Hmm...I'm starting to think this is a firewall issue.  The box I'm trying
to mount is on my DMZ (don't ask), and after running showmount I can see a
bunch of ICMP host not reachable messages being sent from firewall to dmz
machine.

Is there a way to use ssh to create a pipe of sorts?  I'd like to have
access transparently to one specific directory on the dmz machine.

Thanks!
John
