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?
