Hi Peter,

Thanks for agreeing to the change. Your improvements to the page look
good.

At the end, you might want to point out that in the line

ssh -L 63333:db.foo.com:5432 joe@shell.foo.com

the connection from shell.foo.com to db.foo.com will not be encrypted by
the ssh tunnel, at least according to the documentation I've read.

                                                        Take care, Faheem.
