[ale] ssh -R (was Re: Have I been hacked?)

[Jim Kinney]

I use vncviewer -via sshmachine vncservermachine
I then get prompted for the ssh password unless keys are in place then the
vnc password. All is tunnelled through the ssh connection. As long as the
sshmachine knows the internal name (it can be localhost, too) it works very
well.

Note: I only use Linux systems so this is easy. For a non-windows system you
have to use ssh port forwarding. puTTy ona wndows machine makes for a mighty
useful and capable vpn client when the office LAN is behind a Linux
firewall.
