I use this all the time and it works at an acceptable rate.
I tried Freenx and the nomachine
linux client and it addresses the need for pre-login functionality nicely
and gives much better throughput, allows higher resolutions, etc.
I am interested to know if Freenx or !M are able to reproduce the
functionality that I get using vncserver as described in my previous post.
However I asked on the list some time ago if anyone could confirm that
they had got freenx or !M to make a connection to the native desktop on
a remote machine without any local user having logged in on the remote
machine locally, but I never had any confirmation that it was in fact
possible or that anyone had actually managed it.
This particular use for connection to a remote desktop is vital for me to
manage a remote machine where the local user there is non-computer
literate.
I'd still like to hear from anyone who has done this.
ok, I think what I have implemented meets your needs.
Then this gives a vnc window to the server machine via the tunnel even if
the remote user has not yet logged in provided X on the server is running.
The !M client on my box logs me in to the server and gives me an X session. If
(I've tested this, not a theory) I go to the far end machine, the server, and
turn on the screen the system is sitting at the user login screen. If I were
to log in at that point there seem to be two X sessions, one serving up a
screen at my box and one local to the server. Because in this setup stage the
two computers are physically contiguous, a VNC session (which can be
implemented only after a user login on the server) can be controlled at the
same time by either keyboard or mouse. With the !M session these are
separate. I'm pretty happy with this solution, it means I can get back to a
login and full X session with no need to have physical access. Hope this
helps.
