Something like: ssh -L 5900:your.host.name:5900 your.host.name should work. You can then connect to port 5900 on the local machine, and it will be forwarded to "your.host.name". Note also that you can forward X11 connections like this as well. The ssh man page has more. With your setup, you'll still need the nat forwarding on the FreeBSD firewall, unless you're able to ssh directly to the machine running vnc. > > Thomas G.
