Hi Gordon, I'd need to lok into your SSH question to be able to answer it, but another solution has occurred to me, although I'm sure you've probably thought of it. How about using iChat as a remote tech support/admin interface. It's Screen Sharing functionality is excellent and I have been able to solve technical issues using it. It also works with VO. The only caveat is that iChat would have to be running on the other machine with the Screen Sharing already active. Not nearly as elegant as SSH, but maybe a possibility.
