I do it via vnc over a ssh-tunnel. Then one gets the whole client-screen. In your example you have to type in the following term at your Linuxconsole ssh -C -L 5901:192.168.7.100:5901 192.168.7.100 Change the last line of ~/.vnc/xstartup i.e. into kde& so that your desktopmanager can run. And then start after login at 192.168.7.100 the vncserver (which must be installed of course). -------- example -------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ > ssh -C -L 5901:rs-kropp:5901 rs-kropp Enter passphrase for key '/home/lworch/.ssh/id_rsa': Last login: Fri Jun 20 22:23:32 2003 from pd9527f67.dip.t-dialin.net Have a lot of fun...
