Quite simple:

Open an ssh session with root privileges or even better open a normal user session and get root.
I would recommend the -C flag for better throughput:

Code:

ssh -l USER -C -t 192.168.0.4

another way would be passing the commands directly via ssh, but this can be a PIA so better stick with the above.

It's as simple as this:

With the command I gave you you open a remote session on the machine you want to access and then you are in a shell just as on your local machine.
From there you can get root and do just what you want on the remote system. I'm managing my 3 boxes in this way, it's pretty straightforward.

First of all ensure you have SSH running on both machines, this can only be done locally.

To enable ssh:

Code:

/etc/init.d/sshd start

This is all. If it's the first time you login you will be asked if you accept the SSH authentication, just say 'yes', type your password and you are done.

It doesn't matter as long as you hace the ssh daemon running.

If you have different users just log in as root:

Code:

ssh -C -t -l root IP

Then you will get a login shell just like the local one.

If you have trouble because the machine from which you are logging in complaints, just go to /root/.ssh
and either erase it or edit it eliminating the entry to your server so that it has to get the hash again.
