Then from the client machine you run
ssh -L NNNN:localhost:MMMM -f -q -N a.b.c.d
This starts a tunnel which connects from the client machine port
NNNN to the port MMMM on the server machine.
Hm, shouldn't that be NNNN:remotehost:MMMM ?
No. The client connects to port NNNN on the client side.
The ssh tunnel transports the data to the ssh server side.
The ssh server pushes the data to port MMMM on the "localhost" on
that side --- i.e. to itself.
