I do this all the time.
sshnet 'your server name here'
vncv localhost:1
What is perhaps confusing is the fact that vncv doesn't take host:port,
but rather host:display (much like X does), which winds up connecting
to port (display + 5900) on the remote host.

Hi,
I'am trying to run vnc onto a Linux box over an ssh tunnel.
I can see two ways to do this, using sshnet to see the linux boxes
network and then connect to /net.alt/!localhost/5901. This appears
to stumble as vncv uses unix format IP addresses (host:port)
rather than plan9 format.
Alternatively (and neater) the remote Xvnc server can run in 'inetd'
mode which makes it run the VNC protocol over stdin/out. I have a
feeling that this could work with trampoline or perhaps clever
use of /srv but I'am not sure how...
any clues?
