Are you refusing to use Teamviewer on principle? If so, an ssh-aware VNC setup such as BA recommends is probably your best bet. I use x11vnc as the VNC server on the remote host since it mirrors the main X display, which is what you want for remote support of a desktop machine, rather than creating a completely separate virtual X desktop/environment/session as other VNC servers do. I must admit that I use Teamviewer myself whenever I don't have admin rights on the remote machine. Quick, easy, FAIB, only problem is poor accessibility for low-vision/blind users. -- Phil Hudson http://hudson-it.no-ip.biz @UWascalWabbit PGP/GnuPG ID: 0x887DCA63 -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
