If all you require is the ability to run the RedHat GUI tools for configuring the network and what not, you can use basic ssh X11 forwarding instead of a full GNOME desktop through VNC. This will be more comfortable to use under Herc as well as on a real LPAR when you get there later.
If you've got sshd already running, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to enable X11_Forwarding and restart sshd. Then from your local workstation ssh in with the -X flag. If echo $DISPLAY points to localhost:10.0 or something similar then you should be all set. xeyes or xclock will show if the X11 tunnel is working correctly. Of course, if your workstation is running Windows you'll have to have an X server running there, Cygwin is what I use. -- Jay Brenneman ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
