ssh tunnels and Xvnc - (yes, I know... What? not again!?)

[paul van den bergen]

Hi all,

I have a situation that has not been fully addressed by the excellent 
documentation on getting ssh tunnels and remote X-windows display managers 
(like VNC) running. And my feeble brain is too damaged by the dreaded lurgy 
to make heads or tails of it.

home machine (home) ---- ISP --- internet --- work firewall --- work machine1 
(additional firewall?) (work1) --- work machine 2 (desktop) (work2).

I can ssh from home to the work1 and ssh from there to work2.
home runs windows 2k and I have (full) admin access 
work1 and 2 run FreeBSD
I have root access on work2 but not work 1

I guess I have to:

run Xvncserver on work2
ssh tunnel (tunnel1-2) from work 2 to work 1
ssh tunnel (tunnelh-2) inside tunnel1-2
run vnclistener on home.

any suggestions as to what is actually needed? can someone hold my hand though 
this?
