Compressing a directory with rar on Linux

to shell cmd command line unix linux commandline terminal recursive base directory rar rarring archive archiving compress compression compressing based recursion by chrelad on Dec 12, 2007
I've been struggling to get this to work for so long that when I finally got it going I had to throw it up here so I wouldn't lose it.
rar a -m5 -R output.rar /etc/

This will create a max compression (not taking into account dictionary sizes and the like) archive of the entire etc directory.

SSH dynamic forward (Linux)

to ssh tunneling shell proxy bash linux dynamic tunnel sshd forward forwarding vpn openssh by chrelad on Aug 09, 2007
This command will create a dynamic forward from an SSH client to an SSH server. Basically what this does is allow you to use any local port (8080 in this example) as a proxy for any TCP application.

Feedback, suggestions and comments are all welcome!

# In the following example, we create a dynamic
# forward from port 8080 (client) to port 22 (host.net).

ssh -D 8080 username@host.net

# Now, we'll check out netstat to see what we
# have done.

netstat

# Active Internet connections (w/o servers)
# ...
# tcp 0 0 host.net:ssh client.com:60565 ESTABLISHED
# ...
#
# Awesome! Now we've got the connection. I'll add
# another post telling how to use this port as a
# socks proxy for any TCP application :)
