Ok, this makes things much clearer! > I mean you're ssh line should be like: > ssh -L 5902:localhost:5901 -l linux.dns.name > > The "localhost" above must be used LITERALLY !!!! Ah, it works now! Michael Ossmann had said in a previous mail that Bob and Charlie could be the same machine. That's probably why I need to use 'localhost' literally. If Bob and Charlie are separate machines and Charlie ran with -localhost, I'm guessing I'd first need to ssh into Bob then ssh into Charlie with a literal forward to localhost. This is assuming Charlie isn't directly reachable from the outside. Did I reason this correctly? I think I understand much better.
