cvssproxy - a local pserver to remote sserver proxy: it accepts pserver connections on your computer, and forwards them to a remote server using the sserver protocol (so all the data is sent over an encrypted link); ideal for those situations where you want to use a secure link but your development system (such as NetBeans IDE) doesn't do secure connections.
