All, I agree and the student and teacher are doing well with the simple setup. The teacher's PC has mouse/keyboard control disabled for remote users and it works fine. However, tunneling through SSH is a good idea and as I have not had any other experience with VNC, it has been neat!
On a side subject, have any of you tried tunnling a gnome-session to an X server for Windows via SSH? I have done (and still do) this and have remote access to my gui LINUX apps (desktop too) and such at home while I am at work. Any caveats or issues I should be aware of? The X-Server is X-Win32 by StarNet, and SSH package is F-Secure SSH set to use SSH 2 ONLY. The X session uses X-auth... Sure freaks some folks out when they see Gnome running on what they know is a Win box...

Maybe we've gone too far with this. If I remember right, it is just about some teacher that want to be able to display his desktop screen to one particular student. Maybe we're going too paranoid with that - all security that has to be done is to disallow that student (or any other student) to abuse remote viewing software by taking control of teachers computer. It should be enough to disable mouse and keyboard, to make it one-way communication system, I don't think we should build DMZ with two firewalls, NAT on NAT, and then tunnel VNC session trough SSH session tunneled trough another SSH session. :-) -- Radoslav Dejanovic Senior Associate to Mayor's Office City of Zagreb, Croatia
