Curiosity -D

SSH Version Line:
OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0

I've been using SSH for a while now, but was browsing through the man
pages (looking for some help on complex port forwarding (second issue))
and was curious as to a practical usage for the '-D <port>' paraemter.
Any clarification?

Also, very slightly more pressing (than curiosity):
So I've forwarded some ports from machine SX (behind a firewall) to
machine CY so that I can use SX from CY. Has anyone had any experience
forwarding rsh/rexec/rlogin ports? The only connectivity I've got is
through telnet -- and that requires logging in each time, but I'm
looking to exec some commands transparently from CY.

And to top off my questions of the month:
Is there a way to reverse-forward X? (use SX X programs from CY)

As a disclaimer, there is no way to connect from CY to SX (unless I wanted
to be ludicrous and SSH over an SSH forwarded port; being that these two
machines aren't on the same network, that's pretty impractical)

Thank you in advance!
