server is started with:
vncserver :5001 -localhost (will give port 5600+5001=10901)
1. (works)
if i use linux or other UNIX I do:
ssh -L 10901:<server>:10901 <server>
new consol:
vncviewer localhost:10901
This works like a dream...
2.
I use win2000:
start the secure shell with port forwarding.
start my vncviewer in windows.
THIS DOESN'T WORK!!!
I go to the server again and stop the vncserver -kill :5001 and start it
with:
vncserver :5001
without the localhost parameter.
I go to the client again and:
2b.
I use win2000:
start the secure shell with port forwarding.
start my vncviewer in windows.
IT WORKS!!!
I want the localhost parameter, else it's possible to connect to the
vncserver without using ssh.
Regards,
Jannik

Is the SSH server the same machine that the vncserver is running on? What
port-forwarding commands to you use exactly?
Remember that for -localhost to work, ALL incoming connections must arrive
over the local-loopback interface - you must use something like
ssh -L5901:localhost:5901 <my_server>
and NOT
ssh -L5901:<my_server>:5901 <my_server>
