The only thing I have done in Yast is enabled VNC which I thougt was remote administration. Then I opened VNC on the firewall. If it's not, remote administration, I have been on the wrong track. Ultimatly I want to be able to administer a server remotly in the office by seeing its desktop using either a web browser or another client. If your familiar with Radmin for Window, a feature like that. Radmin uses viewer instead of a web browser. Either way, I don't care.
Okay, do the following: 1) Yast2->network Services->Network Services (Inetd) There enable vnc1, vnc2, and vnc3 (For client access diferent screen sizes) enable vnchttpd1, 2, and 3 (For Browser Access in deferent screen sizes) 2) yast2->system->/etc/sysconfig editor->Desktop->Display Manager-> Displaymanager_Remote_Access = Yes Displaymanager_Root_Login_Remote = yes (To allows root user to login) Displaymanager_Starts_XServer = no (To turn off X_Windows on console) Displaymanager_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN = No (this is default, the parameter is for something totally different) KDM_SHUTDOWN = root (Only root can shut machine down!) Displaymanager_Autologin = (leave blank no one gets logged in automatically!) Displaymanager_Password_Less_Login = no (ditto) Exit Yast, In console (<ctrl><alt><F1>) as root do $ init 3 $ init 5 Try vnc again... Note for firewall: the ports you are using are: Vnc client Display 1 (1024x768) -> 5901 Display 2 (1280x1024)-> 5902 Display 3 (1600x1024)-> 5903 Http Downloader Display 1 (1024x768) -> 5801 (to download java, then 5901 for java client) Display 2 (1280x1024)-> 5802 (to download java, then 5902 for java client) Display 3 (1600x1024)-> 5803 (to download java, then 5903 for java client) Jerry P.S. In the file /etc/xinetd.d/vnc you add the parameter -desktop Your_Companyname_Without_Blanks or -desktop Your_Servername_Without_Blanks This will be included in the tittle bar on the client... P.P.S I usually modify the windows sizes slightly so that the window + frame on the client fits on my clients screen...
