>From what I found, I would only need 139, but regardless, the ssh tunnel
is the easy part, the hard part is getting irix to do the port
forwarding.  All I need is something on the irix box to say "Everything
that comes in on port 139 should forward to port 139 on the smb
server".  If I could have that, setting up the ssh tunnel is just a
matter of "ssh -f -L 9999:irixbox:139 irixbox sleep 10; smbclient -p
9999 //localhost/share" from my linux box at home.

So, if somebody knows how to do port forwarding under Irix, I can do the
rest.
