I use it for many things now, you can see my shortened passwordless login method here: http://fak3r.com/2006/08/10/howto-passwordless-ssh-logins/ and a general tunneling howto here: http://fak3r.com/2007/04/16/howto-ssh-tunneling-for-fun-and-profit/ I use port forwarding to allow SSH from a box inside a firewall to go out via an open port (I use the AIM port of 5190 often), connect to my remote box, and then use Autossh (http://www.harding.motd.ca/autossh/) - to monitor the ssh tunnels, and restart them if they go down. That's it, I now have all the abilities from the remote box that I do when I'm inside the firewall. Then just lock down sshd and change those passwords regularly. SSH tunneling maintained by Autossh, beauty.
