The tunneling is easy.  The following option will tunnel local port 1600 
to the ssh server, which will broadcast it to the IP 192.168.1.100 on port 
5900.  The tunnel is open as soon as the ssh session has been 
authenticated.

ssh -L 1600:192.168.1.100:5900 my.server.net

Then I simply have to enter vncviewer localhost:1600 to talk to the remote 
computer on port 5900.  Because all the data goes over the ssh connection, 
it is secure, even if the service being tunneled is unencrypted.
