'course, I just realized that if I am going to give myself a babel
user tunneling over ssh,
I can just dump the local addresses, via ssh ip addr show or ifconfig.
And that I might not want to dump all the addresses, just the ones
babel was exporting.

Hadn't really planned to give myself a user, just a tunnel.
