Well no, that's not the case. SSH forwards your shell session like rsh,
through an encrypted tunnel, and also forwards your X sesion over that
same tunnel. It isn't a tunnel as in the sense of tunnelling IP over IP,
but it's kinda like a tunnel. Said another way, ssh only opens one
socket, and forwards both an encrypted shell session and encrypted X
traffic through it. Maybe that's the better way to say it.
