Hi,

Because of (overly?) strict security policies at our company, one can 
only make TCP connections to ports 80 and 443. I was wondering if 
netfilter could be used to redirect packets destined for port 443 to the 
listening sshd daemon on port 22 on an external machine.

I tried "iptables -I RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT 5 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443  
--syn -j ACCEPT" (I'm using RedHat's default config) and "iptables -t 
nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination 
127.0.0.1:22" to do the actual routing, but that didn't seem to work:

$ ssh -p 443 localhost
ssh: connect to host localhost port 443: Connection refused

Suggestions would be appreciated.
