Creating SSH tunnels...
ssh -L localport:localhost:destport desthost
For example :
ssh -L 9000:romeo:23 julia
-R also creates tunnels
Great for completely subverting any firewalling policy you may be behind. (Not that I am, just that allowing outgoing ssh means that anyone could forward any sort of incoming connections.)
Re:firewalls? pah!

-R is great. I've used to update machines in our DMZ by pointing them to our internal up2date server over an ssh tunnel of that variety.ssh r00lz
-Dom
