I'm looking for a good tool to manage ssh tunnels. Currently I'm using SSHTunnel (cocoa-sshtunnel) but its not very secure, if you look at a ps while connected you see the password in plaintext. And there is no way to configure a private key file per connection.

I also tried STM (http://projects.tynsoe.org/en/stm/index.php) however you cannot save your passwords, and also no private key option.

I'm working on osx Snow Leopard. I use the tunnels for Remote port forwarding. I have a local SVN server for website development, and checkout remotely. I cannot forward ports as I don't have access to the router.

What tools do you use?
