I prefer Tiger: #yum install tigervnc-server

Works great from my android phone.

vnc passes your login information in the clear

ssh-forwarding is not rocket science

Oh, Reindl, you are so funny.  If only I had your knowledge.

ssh-forwarding may not be rocket science to you but to others, well...

Love your help, now show us how.


Say you have SSHD running on port 599 and you are just using user login, not an SSH cert you uploaded. And the server to connect to is at 130.129.0.97 (this is the IETF's address range; I had a server with me I had to connect to). In a terminal window run:

ssh -p 599 -L 8902:130.129.0.97:5902 user@130.129.0.97


You will be prompted to login as user.

Then run vnc to localhost:8902

You are there.

This is how I have been doing it for years at IETF meetings when I have had to connect home for one reason or another.

Tatu Yonen (sp?) kind of rubbed my face in this one. Kind of hard NOT to listen to the advice of the guy who created SSH...
