He could have saved a step as well...
His first command on 'ginger' was:
ssh -R 2222:localhost:22 thedude@blackbox.example.com
..and then this on 'blackbox':
while [ 1 ]; do date; sleep 300; done
A better alternative would be:
ssh -Nn -T -R 2222:localhost:22 thedude@blackbox.example.com
Read the man page to learn what they do..
