Well, you can always just use X, since you've got it on windows: ssh <target linux box> -fXY "startkde" -l<linux_box_user> will start a kde session with the display on the local X server. KDE has other desktop sharing features built-in, it may be possible to assume control of another, running kde session this way. (I haven't played with it much, but there is a 'switch-user' and 'lock session' feature that I'm guessing will show up in the kdm login as options.) -- Respectfully, Nicholas Leippe Sales Team Automation, LLC 1335 West 1650 North, Suite C Springville, UT 84663 +1 801.853.4090 http://www.salesteamautomation.com /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
