The one situation I have never seen explained - is whether given the following scenario this can be done with freenx/nx 1) User Alice on machine A boots up and logs in to KDE. 2) This user has a problem setting up his email client and wants help 3) User Bob on some remote machine B offers to give help. 4) User Bob now makes an ssh connection to machine A since he is the administrator but is away from A. 5) Bob now shows Alice what to do by observing Alice's screen on his own monitor on machine B, and moves the mouse cursor which is then visible both on his own machine B as well as Alice following his actions on her machine A. Secondly Alice wants to see Bob perform her own login on her machine A after Bob has done some updates and wants to boot A to a new kernel. So Bob does a "shutdown -r now" and asks Alice to tell him when there is a login prompt on her screen on A. At that point Bob connects back via ssh to A, and watches Alice's screen on his own monitor on B, whilst Alice sits back and watches Bob do her login on A, executed from his machine B via the ssh tunnel.
