You need to tunnel the RDP port (probably 3389).
From the client:
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 3389:192.168.0.1:3389
Substitute 192.168.0.1 with the IP of any machine on the LAN you want
to connect to.
You now have a tunnel connected locally, so RDP to localhost and you
are done.
Of course it's a little more complex on Windows, you may need to use
putty or plink and connect to a port other than localhost:3389.
cheers,
Peter.
