Thank you; that is what I needed.
Adjust port numbers and options as necessary.
Are the port numbers just arbitrary selections?
Except for the last port on the destination machine--which needs to be the port your service is listening on (vnc or X), yes.
In my case, to get a vnc desktop, I setup the tunnel and then run $ vncviewer localhost:10001
I choose 10001 because the machine I vnc into runs webmin (which is port 10000).
