And: 
     3. Tunnel port 5900 over SSH (actually the best option): 
           ssh -L5900:localhost:5900 <server_ip> 
        and then you just do "vncviewer localhost:0" 

That will tunnel all of the traffic for vnc through ssh. Note: If you 
have vncserver running on your local machine, you'll have to change the 
first number to a different display (at least I think it's the first 
number), and then connect to that display number (for instance, if you 
change it to 5901, then you'll connect to "localhost:1"
