What ssh does is x-window forwarding which allows you to run a windowed app and have it's display forwarded to the system your on. This is entirely to frigging cool. It didn't even take any additional configuring past what needed to be configured to get ssh Pub/Pri key auth working. I can open an ssh session and type the x-window command and it displays on my system. With this I was then able to set up icons that had commands like ssh <sys> <x-window app> and have them display on my system. Because of this ability I really didn't need to run vnc anymore. Plus it's encrypted! -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
