Weird resumable ssh redir question...

2002-02-10 Thread Karl J. Runge
Hi, Some of you may remember the talk I did last Nov. at the MELBA meeting. The basic idea is that one uses ssh to connect to work, say, and redirect a bunch of ports (login shells, X window apps, webserver, etc) to yield a poor man's VPN between the two points. For a couple of weeks I'll need

Well, it should definitely NOT bounce back to the OP, as there is nothing we can do about it. And I'm sure the list administrator doesn't want to deal with every bounced message; it's annoying enough for me to have to deal with errors on the few posts I make. I would say direct them to a

Since VNC is good for resuming sessions after disconnects, or even moving to a different client, how about setting up a low res desktop account or two, maybe with nothing more than an xterm on it, for the bulk of the stuff where you can get away with the command line? That, coupled with tightVNC
