SSH tunnels aren't the only way to do port forwarding. If you're clever enough, you can write your own program. If you're not quite that clever, you can use someone else's program -- like a very cool Perl script I found on the web.
You have options about whether ssh forwarded ports listen on localhost-only, or not, but I think ultimately it (ssh) would be used in specific cases where you wouldn't want naked transport anyway.

You can do it without perl. Create an ssh publickey and copy it into remotehost's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. This avoids using any password at all (and is actually more secure in some respects). then you can do:
ssh -L 5900:vnctarget:5900 remotehost
and then
vncviewer localhost
will get you VNC access to vnctarget. Just tested it.

Other useful port forwarding tools
There are two additional port forwarding tools which I've found very useful:
One example of these two used in combination is to forward a UDP packet via a SecureTCP pipe.
You will need to download and compile the sources using gcc.

Sidekick: The Good News & the Bad News Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

AISO founders envisioned a Web hosting company that was environmentally friendly. While the company employed energy-efficient innovations like solar panels, its infrastructure produced unacceptable power and cooling requirements. Find out how AISO leveraged AMD technology to overcome their challenge in this case study white paper.
In this whitepaper, Scalar explores the opportunity to change the landscape with respect to mission critical databases
built around Oracle. Leveraging technologies such as Linux, high-end commodity processing power and Oracle RAC
technology to architect, design, build and maintain database infrastructure that delivers maximum availability, reliability
and performance at a fraction of traditional cost.
On a typical day, weather.com, the Web site for The Weather Channel in Atlanta, serves up between 15 million and 20 million page views. But in September 2004, when back-to-back hurricanes ransacked Florida, the peak traffic on one day more than tripled: over 70 million page views by more than 7 million unique visitors. Read the full success story now.
