I've created an ssh tunnel to a windows box (running the OpenSSH port for Windows) as follows:

ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 <REMOTE>

I've tried VNCThing and Chicken of the VNC. VNCThing says 'authorisation failed' because it sent a blank password even though I typed the correct password in.

Chicken just states that connecting to localhost is 'disabled'.

Has anyone else gotten VNC over ssh to work on OS X?
