Just rebooted a remote box, now it is going, but kdm is waiting for a login.
I can ssh in and get a command line.
I want it to be logged in to kdm so that i can start x11vnc and check something out from the office. Can I do that from the command line?
You can add entries to /etc/X0.hosts to allow external connections. Restart kdm. Start an X server locally and run up x2x and run the pointer off the screen in the right direction. Enter your username & password. kdm will possibly restart another X server, so your x2x will terminate but you should be logged in. You want all this traffic encrypted BTW.
Alternately run up an Xvnc server and use tightvnc to connect to that.
