Google is your friend.  Of course, knowing the right phrase or
keywords makes it nice. ;-)  That's a very interesting tool, which
should put the fear of the Internet in everyone. . .

Another reason for tunneling VNC over SSH is this: My firewall only
exposes a select few protocols to the outside world.  If it weren't
for the fact I have to support other people, I'd likely ONLY have SSH
exposed to the world.  Instead I have to have POP/IMAP, SMTP,
etc. . .

The fewer things you expose to the outside Big Bad World, the better.
