People tend to choose stunnel, you could modify the instructions
appropriately, though. Be sure that if you use ssh that the account
doesn't allow general login - its probably for fear of account misuse
that people don't use ssh. Well, that and no built-in mechanism to
reconnect if the connection drops.

The right place to start is with your (openssh) authorized_keys file
having settings like this:

no-pty,no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding ssh-dss
AAAAB3N... syslog-ng@remotehost "logging account only"

Anyways, most people who need instructions on setting ssh port
forwarding shouldn't use it for syslog traffic. Use stunnel and you'll
be better off.
