You need to ask your SSH client to do port forwarding. How you do that will depend on the client. Generally you'll ask it to, say, forward local port 5900 to remote port 5900. Then you tell VNC to connect to port 5900 on your local machine, and SSH forwards it from there.
Since you're running RedHat, the quickest way to keep VNC from accepting outside connections would probably be to block that port off with ipchains or iptables. -----Original Message----- From: James Pifer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 31, 2001 11:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SSH Windows to Linux I know this has been asked before, but I'm not finding my answer so far. I've also read through the docs, but the holiday drinking must have made my brain a little mushy. I have a Redhat 7.2 server that I'm going to stick on the net. For this reason I obviously need it secure. Like many others, we're a windows shop not Linux. I can't figure out how to connect from a windows PC to a VNC session on Linux over SSH. I have SSH running on Redhat and can connect to it from two different Windows SSH clients. When I connect I get the $ prompt like a terminal session. How to a make a VNC connection? Also, how do I make sure that VNC will not accept normal connections? I've used Zebedee on windows in the past and then used the authosts registry setting to limit only connections from the local machine. Thanks.
