vnc on MacOS

Everyone raves about Chicken of the VNC on OSX but the version I have doesn't have ssh forwarding... something I really need. So here is how I got a good vnc. First: sudo port search vnc That listed some vnc clients. I first tried just standard vnc.  But somewhere in the middle my files got corrupted on download because I'm on a hotel network, so I had to resync: sudo port sync Now I tried again: sudo port install vnc That failed too since I removed the corrupt file that was xorg-libXmu.  So I had to clean it up: sudo port clean --all xorg-libXmu Rerunning: sudo port install tightvnc Now I have a real man's VNC since I can get to it on the command line with the -via option!!
