I don't know if this is applicable to what you are doing, but you can
use Expect to remotely control another machine... you can tunnel it
through SSH for real security. I don't know if there are C++ bindings
for Expect, but you can use it with Tcl, Perl and Python (as a matter
of fact I have been using Expect this morning for this very purpose).
If you are trying to do GUI stuff remotely, though, that's another
story altogether. I don't know what is entailed for this, but you may
be able to create a terminal server client (there's even an open
source tool called tsclient you can check out -- it's a Linux app, but
you can use it to connect to Windows machines that are enabled for
remote connections). You might also take a look at Vnc -- it's a
similar kind of thing for remotely controlling another computer, and
it cross-platfotm: you can use it on Windows to control a Linux box,
or on a Mac to control a Solaris box, and so on.
