Matthew:
Heya. Durn that Alice and Bob couple...man, are they annoying. :)
>From what you wrote, it sounds as if the WorkNT machine is running VNC,
but *not* running an SSH server. So you can "end" a VNC connection at
the WorkNT machine, but you can't "end" an SSH connection there.
So try this on your XP machine:
ssh -l persicom -L 5901:WorkNT:5900 WorkSolaris.mycompany.com
That will open a tunnel from your XP machine to WorkSolaris,
where the "start" the the tunnel is port 5901 on the XP machine, and
the data coming out of the tunnel goes to WorkNT's port 5900. This
will serve to secure the data from the WinXP machine across the
Internet to the WinSolaris machine, but the VNC data will be insecure
on the LAN connecting WorkSolaris and WorkNT. Which is probably
a 90-percent solution.
Which is probably going to start a whole new thread about
90-percent solutions, making me miss Alice and Bob. :)
cheers,
Scott
