I've used freenx a lot. Paul, just install the freenx server on your friend's box, open up port 22 on his router and install the freenx client on your box. No need to setup a VPN. Your freind might want to setup an account with a dynamic DNS service like dyndns.org so you don't have to worry about ip addresses changing.

I found the script for installing nxclient. # sudo dpkg -i nxclient_X.Y.Z-W_i386.deb should I put the deb package in the opt directory and depackage it there? is the opt directory as good as any for that?

If you're really worried, then use key-only authentication and disable passwords on the SSH server. No need to have 10 steps of encryption.

If I want to nxclient into my friends computer to configure his computer remotely, do I need to have nxclient on my computer, and nxserver on his computer? thanks Stay up to date on your PC, the Web, and your mobile phone with Windows Live Click here _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list [email protected] http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers Stay up to date on your PC, the Web, and your mobile phone with Windows Live Click here _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list [email protected] http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers Get 5 GB of storage with Windows Live Hotmail.
