Useful things you can make SSH do

Yeah, I got it to work now, thanks to google. Hadn't realized that it needs a) a new session and b) an environment variable set.

  function remotebrowse() {
    export SOCKS_SERVER=localhost:5432
    ssh -fNTD 5432 remote
    google-chrome --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome $1 &
  }

I get some error messages, but it seems to work.

Really? I just the the GUI to set it (Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04, Windows XP, Vista & 7)

I don't have a GUI (Xubuntu 9.10), and I don't want to set it permanently. Just so I can get at some ip-restricted content from home.
