Similar here - I too use ssh tunelling for virtually everything. It is so easy to set up, so versatile in it's configuration and use options, and yet so secure. Available even for my PDA, absolutely universally available. The FISH (ftp via ssh) protocol is just superb: I have set up "authorized key" pairs on all my machines, so when I want to browse another computer, I just enter fish://target.host, abd voila I can graphically browse the remote computer, drag and drop files if I like, or just use the remote files as if they were part of my local file system transparently. And everything as secuire as it gets by nowadays standards If I would need VNC I'd just tunnel it via ssh too - but since I don't sufffer from Microsoft Windows, I can simply ssh-forward my X sessions from any host to any other, which works a lot better than VNC and is simply unbeatable for remote maintenance Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
