I've not senn the alice, bob, charlie docu. but here's how you could do it.
from alice: ssh -L 4444:charlie:22 bob now from alice again, leaving above session running ssh -p 4444 5901:localhost:5901 localhost then vncviewer localhost:1 You are using the first ssh session to set up a tunnel that simply gives I direct connection from the external internet machine, to the internal hidden machine. The second ssh session is used purely to get the connection to the localhost port on the vncserver.
