I think you can say "vnc -localhost" so that it only accepts connection from
the local host, if the ssh pipe ends at the same machine as the one where
the ssh pipe ends. Of course, VNC will still accept unenctypted connections
from the localhost, but not from remote hosts.
Incompetence disclaimer:
I haven't tried, and I don't know much about the gearworks of TCP and
tunneling. So I don't know whether my logic is sound, and whether it'll
actuelly work.
