Download a packet sniffer like this one: http://www.ethereal.com
It will show that all of the data is an SSH packet (except maybe for a few
ack requests)
If this it does show ssh then everything is encrypted, if it shows tcp then
it might not be.
Also, you would know if vnc is going through ssh because on the vncviewer
you must input
localhost as the remote server (because it is being tunneled).
Cheers,
Dustin
