There's not much more to it than what's in the man page: run ssh -D
[port] then use localhost [port] as a SOCKS server. Here's a complete
(if trivial) example:

$ ssh -D 1080 -v localhost -N -f
$ connect -5 -S 127.0.0.1:1080 localhost 25

The first line will start a ssh session then run in the background, the
second will use ssh as a SOCKS5 server to connect to the mailserver on
the local machine.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
