Re: [Hardhats-members] Linux question: remote desktop sharing

SSH with X tunnel. All GUI stuff pops up on your local terminal. It is secure (because of SSH), but there is a delay. I use Kate with my KDE desktop. It fetches files and saves them in temp files for me to work on, then sends the changes back to the server when I'm done. It is seamless, so I don't have to upload/download all the time. Also, working on local files means there's no delay. -Shaun

Hello all,

I have taken an offcast PC and made a linux server out
of it.  I want to do my future VistA development on
it.  Furthermore, I would like to be able to work off
of it when I come to the OpenVistA conference.

I can ssh into it and work that way, but I would like
to be able to use a NICE editor (i.e. I hate 'vi')...
so I have started thinking about setting up remote
desktop sharing.

When I have done web searches for this, it seems that
the technology is "vnc".  My redhat 9 book, however,
says that vnc transmits passwords in plaintext, and
that one would need to tunnel it through a ssh shell
for security.  Its sounding a bit complicated.

Is there an easier, but secure, way to share the
server desktop?

Also, it seems that the VNC system is sending
screenshots of the server's desktop.  But I wonder,
didn't someone mention on the list recently about
another way, i.e. the X11 system sends remote draw
commands etc rather than sending simple graphic images
of the desktop?

Thanks
Kevin
