OpenSSH automagically sets up a tunnel for the X Window protocol, and I've
also used it to tunnel VNC sessions. It's not too hard to set up. See
the documentation for details.
Here's a shellscript that I wrote to encapsulate the gory details of VNC
tunnelling:
#! /bin/sh
GATEWAY=${VNC_GATEWAY-rahal}
ssh -L 5900:$1:5902 -x -f $GATEWAY 'sleep 10'
vncviewer -encodings "copyrect hextile" localhost
$GATEWAY is the name of the machine at the other end of the tunnel. VNC
uses ports 5900-up. The 'sleep 10' command is probably needed only
because I don't know more about controlling ssh properly.
Further discussion of ssh ought to move to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or
comp.security.ssh .
