remote desktop question

[kevincpyeung1974-kde at yahoo.com.sg]

Hi

There are a number of reasons why you want to do it on
ssh, chief among which 
is you don't trust the Internet _and_ your office
network. Being on VPN 
shields you from the dangers of the former and ssh
helps with the latter.

Supposed krfb is listening on port 5900 on your work
computer. Then, from your 
home computer, you do:

ssh -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900 workpc

What this does is you ssh into your work computer and
at the same time ssh 
listens on port 5900 on your _home_ computer. Whatever
connects to home:5900 
is forward on ssh to workpc:5900.

Then, at home, you do:

krdc localhost:5900

That's it. BTW, why don't you just use vnc? You can do
vnc securely via ssh this way. I also do X/ssh (:0 is
port 6000, :1 = 6001, etc).

Regards
Kevin
