I found a reference to this command at: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/attarchive/vnc/sshvnc.html I cannot figure out how to correct whatever the problem is. I am attempting to connect to a FreeBSD-6.3 machine running 'TightVNC' from a WinXP machine. The connection works fine using a regular connection; however, I would prefer to use 'ssh' and limit the port to localhost for security.
