Thanks for the idea. That may have solved the problem and I may end up using this idea as a test measure. However I think there may be a flaw in your process here. Please correct me if I am wrong but if you make a tunnel as described below from my thinking you are not improving security as your message implies. In fact by doing this you are making every connection to port 631 appear to come from the local host and worse giving them root permissions through the ssh connection. You may want to rethink your setup. This looks very dangerous to me from a security standpoint. -Darren On Sun, 2003-04-13 at 02:57, Chan Min Wai wrote: > Hello Darren > > About this problem, the access denied The way I use to configure a > Server which have no X installed is to use an SSH tunnel. > > If you are using Linux SSH in your server and make a tunnel on port 631 > and as if you are connect to port 631 on the local server. > > This somehow is the best way to prevent any security problem. > > Use the following command to connect to your server. > > ssh root@xxxxxx -L 631:localhost:631 > > Thank You > Chan Min Wai > > Darren R.
