PuTTY lets you set up all kinds of special options, tied to which host you are connecting to.

why u don't use freeNX from nomachine website(googling it for latest version)
I think it needs to run on the remote machine too, and I don't have any control over that.
The ssh daemon on the host machine is usually activated by default, have a look at the man page (man ssh) for ssh capabilities... As a taster to open a remote session in a new window in any konsole session enter... ssh -Xf <servername> <command> will work if you have configured X to accept remote sessions on the server. This will log you in with the current username and run <command> (xterm will give a new terminal)... ssh -Xf <username>@<servername> <command> will log you in as <username> on server <servername>. BTW Do not attempt to login as root. Login and su to root... In both cases you will get a certificate dialog the first time you login. But this will set up the ssh session as a background process, retaining your local console. If command is a script you can do some rather interesting things... PuTTY versions exist for Windows and Symbian OS and other system that have very little ssh support. It has nothing like the potential functionality of the *NIX ssh interface, because you can get the functionality of the host X desktop (within some limits). Effectively your machine becomes an X-Terminal, but retaining local functionality,... Windows users should explore Cygwin as this will allow you to run ssh and do things like run YaST on a Windows desktop... (can confuse a few people :-) ).... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGQePNasN0sSnLmgIRAsLZAKD0430/qv/pZBDPVRQppCQRkj833wCg5RA3 HLPbVs/3pBloD86d2HfeRgM= =7BQs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
