I use ssh -f -L 5901:localhost:5900 myserver sleep 30 from a Windows 2000 client (or Windows NT 4), so that the port will automatically close down when I'm done. And the -f lets me put the launch of the tunnel and the vncviewer in the same script file. When you do a "loopback" connection on your server...have you modified the registry to allow this? The value is called ConnectPriority in the WINVNC3 key I think.
