Re: ssh tunneling to bypass web proxy rules

[William Hile <while () griff-n-gwyn com>]

The only way to actually stop this would be to block outbound SSH 
completely. As long as this person has a shell account that accepts SSH he 
can tunnel basically anything through there. As far as telling you how 
that would depend on the SSH client side... there are several ways to do 
it... But to stop him just block outbound SSH.
