R&D Connection to linux box

Hi,

I am looking for a good solution for our r&d center to be able to connect to our linux farm not just by using SSH as they need some graphical access.
Any good open source tools ?

Thanks
Danny

You can using the simple X11 port forwarding. It is quite useful.

ssh -oForwardX11=yes -l username hostname programname.

In your computer (running X) will immediately ask you password and give you a gui which is suppose inside the server.

simpler commands:

Code:

ssh -X username@hostname

or in OpenSSH you may need

Code:

ssh -Y username@hostname
