   No. It does not allow right now. But I want it do so. But it also
has sshd running on itself, listening on 22 and I don't want to shut
it down.

   Well, I can get to it if I had only this as the problem. Since the
firewall is under my control, I can enable portforwarding (Linux,
iptables -- not an issue).

   The problem:

   -> Firewall.network.net already has a sshd running on 22.
       I cannot use 22 for forwarding, since sshd is listening.
       I cannot use another port, because "ext protocol" does not
allow me to use any port other than 22.

   export address@hidden:/cvs/root/path

cannot be changed to

    export address@hidden:111111:/cvs/root/path
