I think he meant running the client (management console) locally on the
windows box connecting to an orion server instance running on the linux
server without X. if I haven't misunderstood the concept the console can
talk to many remote servers via the ormi protocol (wire protocol of orion's
rmi implementation). otherwise it would be quite useless as it is the most
typical production setup to have a linux server without X that you have to
manage remotely. if you have a firewall inbetween this should also work
over http tunneling. So basically you should only have to setup your
server's rmi config and point your management console to the corresponding
url(s). haven't tried all this but this is my impression from what I've
seen so far. could someone of evermind please confirm that?
