If I may step in, the answer is "sort of".  What he can do is SSH to
your Linux box, and then SSH from there to any other machine on the
internal network.

I use a cast-off machine running Linux as my firewall, so I have it
pick up all SSH.  I SSH to my firewall, then SSH to any other machine
on the network from there.  That means that file copies are two-stage
operations, which is inconvenient, but doable.

Perhaps you could set up a tunnel with the first machine, and then
tunnel through the tunnel to get to the other machines.  I've not
tried anything that complex because I haven't needed it.  Rick can
doubtless elucidate further.

Cheers,
