An alternative to a GUI admin tool would be NX (www.nomachine.com or
http://freenx.berlios.de/). NX uses SSH by default so no need for
workarounds. NX is MUCH better than VNC for graphical environments over
non-LAN connections. Really, once you've run something like KDE or Gnome
over NX, you'll never want to go back to VNC again.
