SSH Tunnels

Hallo,
I would like to learn about ssh tunnels. Do you know any good web site with
detailed info about it? I need a detailed description (eg why connections
are secured, if I could use it in order to secure insecure connections as
my pop3 client with NON SSL pop server etc).

Thank you
Peter Tselios

man ssh (or check out http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi for ssh). Also,
www.google.com for ssh tunnel, pop3 ssh tunnel, etc.

Look at the -L flag, I think, specifically for forwarding client's local
port tcp/110
to mail server tcp/110 through the ssh server.
