I tried what is documented here: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/15315.html But I could not get the same results - mainly that I couldn't connect when KRFB was running on the host and I used KRDC to try to connect.
Ok... funny how as soon as you click send you think of that one option you forgot to check... this is working now... I can control the desktop of one computer from the other on the local LAN.
Is it possible to take over a desktop using ssh? (prefered because. I will be doing the control via the internet)
This question still stands. My ultimate goal is to be able to remotely control a computer on the other side of the world. Is VNC "secure" enough for me to open it up via the internet? Is it better (more secure) to use ssh tunneling? Can I take control of a remote desktop using ssh like I can with the Remote Desktop tools in KDE? C.
