Something along those lines - what I'd really like to have is what SUN did years ago - in the Sun offices you could move your x-session from one place to another just by swiping your smartcard. I think that was Sun proprietary though.
Surely that can still be done? Possibly without the smartcard, but with a login/password.
The smartcard wouldn't be needed, userid/password is better/sufficient.
Sadly, I know how to do it in Windows because I run long lived tasks that can take a day or two to finish. I need the ability to log into my windows servers and see the GUI regardless of where I'm physically at.
On the server (individual's desktop PC) allow RDP (remote desktop).
When local to the server/desktop, login and use it as normal.
When remote, just connect to the desktop via RDP. The RDP session moves to the latest connection and drops the previous connection.
I do it all the time.
Sounds exactly like what I could do with. Letting someone login on multiple workstations is really just a workaround.
I'll be pretty disappointed if Linux can't do that for X, but I normally use SSH for remote access to Linux boxes.
Ditto.
Combining that with screen lets you move terminal sessions from one physical location to another.
I did investigate this a while back, maybe ten years ago. I think it fell over, there just wasn't anything equivalent to the Sun Ray setup. /Per -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
