10.5: How to use screen sharing remotely and securely

Just to clarify a bit my previous post...

when host-X executes
ssh -L port:host-Y:hostport host-Z

then local packet sent to port are tunneled to host-Z which then decrypt them and pass them to host-Y in clear. Moreover, host-Y is "resolved" from host-Z point of view (so if it is localhost or 127.0.0.1, it means host-Z itself)

(I hope I did not add to much confusion again)
