Hi Leo,
I am not much use answering this because the servers I set up
do not even have the X-based tools installed. Since one of them is
maintained mainly over a modem it is essential to be able
to use text-based tools. But then I only have two puny systems
to look after.
Depending on your server requirements you might find it easier to
set up web-based admin tools.
If you are running this over a local network you can skip
ssh tunnelling anyway (unless you have internal security worries)
and just allow X traffic from the server to your PC. But you
will still need to find an X-server for the PC. Just get hold of
a demo version of a commercial X-server that I mentioned, or the
others mentioned by Todd Jacobs.
Or try VNC (comes with redhat I think) and you
can get PC clients from www.orl.co.uk/vnc
But, for any of these, the setup is more complicated than can
be put in a few lines of email. You'll have to do
some reading.
Cameron.
