When I try localhost:0 VNC tells me loopback connections are not allowed.
What am I doing wrong?

You need to point VNC at the local end of the ssh tunnel, not at the remote
machine. Make your VNC connection to 'localhost:0'.

Subject: RE: ssh, vnc and port monitor
Can anyone help?
This is the command I am entering on the client to redirect my VNC ports to
ssh.
ssh -L 5900:remotehost:5900
The server is running VNC and ssh and I can connect to the ssh terminal and
execute commands. And I can connect to VNC. My problem lies in getting the
VNC to use SSH. I am trying on 2 machines on my network and using a network
monitor to monitor the communication. When I issue the command, nothng is
out of the ordinary to let me know that it is not accepted. I open VNC and
connect. However the port monitor tells me I am still using 5900 and 22
(ssh) is not being utilized. I can watch the data transfer occur and it all
happens on 5900. I put a firewall in between and open up 22 but close 5900
and I am unable to connect.
