I'm currently trying to get FreeNX setup but I'm running into some problems setting that up. I'm not sure how ssh tunneling works so to even get that to work is a daunting task.
Since I'm pretty new to linux and the lack of howto's on the topics that I need help with I'm at a loss for what I can do. If you have any links to articles that tell users who don't have a clue (aka me!) I would love to read them.
Thanks!
Okay, here comes help....
Yay! Thanks so much!
1) Do you have your ssh server up and running on the linux?
Yes
2) Do you have an Internet addresable address for your home box?
Yes. I have port forwarding working through my home router to my SuSE box.
3) have you setup vnc via xinetd in yast?
Yep sure have. I can connect via 5901 and through the web at 5801 but at work on my Mac OSX box I don't have access to those ports as I have already stated. That's why FreeNX would be great if I can get it working through my Mac OSX machine at work.
4) at work are you using windows?
Nope Mac OSX 10.3.9.
I assume yes to the first since SUSE sets up ssh by default.
I assume you know how to get to your home box from the internet since you are only talking about getting out of the office.
I also assume you've setup and tested vnc at home.
Yes, Yes, Yes.
If you got linux at work (which I doubt since you are so excited about SUSE at home), you can use the vncviewer -via <user>@<home> localhost:1
Ah.. well unfortunately no linux at work. :(
Most probably you problem consists of getting ssh tunneling going from a windows client.
If I could only find a tutorial or howto about ssh tunneling that is written in English that I can understand.
This has been discussed a million, zillion times on the vnc lists, but I'm sure that if you confirm the above some else will be kind enough to add a link to one of the many descriptions on how this done....
A link to something would be great! :) Thanks so much!
