 NOTES

 I wrote this during the course of a few hours one Sunday to solve a problem we
 are having at work; namely we needed to make certain TCP services inside our
 firewall visible to the Internet.

 I would appreciate a note to john(at)bawue.de if you use this - just so I know
 how useful it is (or isn't :-).

 COMPILING AND USING

 Just javac all the source files - they aren't in packages so they should appear
 in the same directory.  Then invoke the listener with:

   java pf local_port remote_port remote_host

 TCP packets coming in on localhost:local_port will be forwarded to
 remote_host:remote_port.

 DISCLAIMER

 HIGH RISK SOFTWARE - The software, as per the GPL, HAS NO WARRANTY.  If you use
 it on your firewall (and I hope you will), then you can't sue me if it turns
 out there is a flaw in it, or the JVM which causes your payroll data to be
 exposed to the world.  By using the software, you agree to these terms.  I
 specifically disclaim everything I may disclaim under British
 law (I'm a British national) and German law (I'm a German resident).


 LICENSE

 The software is realeased under the GPL,  http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.txt,
 a copy if which is reproduced below for your edification. See also DISCLAIMER.


 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991  Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free
 Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307
 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
 license document, but changing it is not allowed.     Preamble   The licenses
 for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change
 it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your
 freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free
 for all its users.  This General Public License applies to most of the Free
 Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
 using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU
 Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to your programs,
 too.   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.
 Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom
 to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you
 wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can
 change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know
 you can do these things.   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions
 that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the
 rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.   For example, if you
 distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give
 the recipients all the rights that you have.  You must make sure that they,
 too, receive or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so
 they know their rights.   We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright
 the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission
 to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.   Also, for each author's
 protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that
 there is no warranty for this free software.  If the software is modified by
 someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have
 is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect
 on the original authors' reputations.   Finally, any free program is threatened
 constantly by software patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that
 redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in
 effect making the program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear
 that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at
 all.   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
 modification follow.


    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION
    AND MODIFICATION   0. This License applies to any program or other work
    which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
    distributed under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program",
    below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
    means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is
    to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or
    with modifications and/or translated into another language.  (Hereinafter,
    translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each
    licensee is addressed as "you". Activities other than copying, distribution
    and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its
    scope.  The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output
    from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on
    the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
    Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.   1. You may copy and
    distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it,
    in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on
    each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep
    intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
    warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this
    License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of
    transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
    exchange for a fee.   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program
    or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
    distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above,
    provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the
    modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files
    and the date of any change.     b) You must cause any work that you
    distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from
    the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to
    all third parties under the terms of this License.     c) If the modified
    program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it,
    when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to
    print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice
    and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
    warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these
    conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
    (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print
    such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to
    print an announcement.)


These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If identifiable
sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and
its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
works.  But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a
work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole,
and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the
intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written
entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the
distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In
addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the
Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
License.   3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1
and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:     a) Accompany it
with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software interchange; or,     b) Accompany it with a written offer,
valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more
than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-
readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the
offer to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is allowed
only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b
above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source code means
all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation
of the executable.  However, as a special exception, the source code distributed
need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made
by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the
source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source
along with the object code.

  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
  expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
  sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
  your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
  rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
  long as such parties remain in full compliance.   5. You are not required to
  accept this License, since you have not signed it.  However, nothing else
  grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative
  works.  These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.
  Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
  Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its
  terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or
  works based on it.   6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work
  based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
  original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these
  terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further restrictions on the
  recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for
  enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.   7. If, as a
  consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for
  any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you
  (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
  conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
  License.  If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
  obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
  consequence you may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a
  patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
  all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only
  way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely
  from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held
  invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the
  section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply
  in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to
  infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of
  any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity
  of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public
  license practices.  Many people have made generous contributions to the wide
  range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent
  application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or
  she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee
  cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear
  what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
  countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
  copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit
  geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
  distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded.  In
  such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body
  of this License.   9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or
  new versions of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new
  versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
  detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a
  distinguishing version number.  If the Program specifies a version number of
  this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option
  of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later
  version published by the Free Software Foundation.  If the Program does not
  specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever
  published by the Free Software Foundation.   10. If you wish to incorporate
  parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions
  are different, write to the author to ask for permission.  For software which
  is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software
  Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be
  guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of
  our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software
  generally.     NO WARRANTY   11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF
  CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
  APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS
  AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
  EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
  WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE
  ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.
  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
  SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.   12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY
  APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER
  PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
  LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
  CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM
  (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE
  OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO
  OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
  ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.      END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

    How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs   If you develop a new
    program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public,
    the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can
    redistribute and change under these terms.   To do so, attach the following
    notices to the program.  It is safest to attach them to the start of each
    source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each
    file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the
    full notice is found.     <one line to give the program's name and a brief
    idea of what it does.> Copyright (C) 19yy  <name of author>     This program
    is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms
    of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software
    Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later
    version.     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU General
    Public License for more details.     You should have received a copy of the
    GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the
    Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA
    02111-1307  USA Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and
    paper mail. If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice
    like this when it starts in an interactive mode:     Gnomovision version 69,
    Copyright (C) 19yy name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO
    WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are
    welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for
    details. The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
    appropriate parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands
    you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could
    even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. You should
    also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any,
    to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.  Here is a
    sample; alter the names:   Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright
    interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers)
    written by James Hacker.   <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 Ty Coon,
    President of Vice This General Public License does not permit incorporating
    your program into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine
    library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
    applications with the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU
    Library General Public License instead of this License.
