Subject: Q: Secure VNC port forwarding in SSHD
X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.12a)
Message-Id: <19991129084902.SLVG10258.relay01@workstation>

Hello,

Last week I got sshd working, i.e. I can open a remote shell now.

my_server: runs sshd, VNC server
my_workstation: runs ssh, VNC client

When on my_workstation I start ssh like this:
'ssh -L 5901:my_server:5900 my_server'
port 5900 on my_server then supposedly is forwarded to
port 5901 on my_workstation, which corresponds to display 1.
I expect to be able to securely connect to the VNC server running 
on my_server using 'vncviewer my_workstation:1'.

It doesn't work though. Has anybody got VNC or other connections 
to work similar to the way I described here, using Sergey 
Okhapkin's implementation of SSH V1.2.26? Your help would be 
appreciated. 

Thanks in advance,
Borre Sanders.
