I wrote up a short tutorial today on the IT wiki about SSH tunneling. What I
didn't know is that you can start a tunnel *after* you've already ssh'd to
another machine. Basically, you:

- Press Enter
- Type `~C`

and you're at an `ssh>` prompt. From there, you can issue the tunnel command of
your choice: `-R7111:localhost:22`, for instance.
