okay thanks a lot for the reply.
no problem with the account as shell login won't be enable, i will only use the connection for port tunneling. It's for a java program which will establish connection through the proxy to the postgresql server and to a RMI server(java equivalent for web services).
I will establish tunnels on the client side before launching the program using something like this :
ssh -L 5432:127.0.0.1:5432 -L 1099:127.0.0.1:1099 powerLessUser@postgreAndRmiServer
(5432 is the postgresql default port and 1099 the RMI one)
Thanks again for your reply
best regards, moi.
by the way is there a way to mark this post as resolved ??
