be great... because there are several good ways to do this.
I share several of my systems [ and multiple desktops ] across my network
using vncserver, and tightvnc tunnels over ssh, to allow many users access to
several (a few) servers via shared desktops.
I can provide a point-by-point howto, but the big picture for now is this:
First each server machine runs headless. From remote a user can start a
vncserver (from their userid home dir) which starts a virtual frame
buffer---and starts KDE. [ some of my users start gnome, but that's another
story ] Then the user issues a remote background command over an ssh tunnel
that starts vncviewer [ running on the server machine ] and then pipes the
vncserver back over the X11 ssh session... including password requests etc
all compressed and encrypted. This works *very* well for local area nets with
adequate speeds, eliminates the need to open a vnc port on the server, and
keeps the whole shabang secure. If the desktop needs to be *shared* then the
vncserver is started with the option to share. I have used this technique
for net-meetings and for collaboration... doesn't work well across the WAN...
but for local setups its fine. You can do a similar thing using the vncviewer
from the client machine and logging into an open vnc server port on the
host... but if you do this its a better idea to change the default server
port number to something else---- otherwise, its not a good idea.
Directly logging in to a remote desktop isn't such a good idea... also, its
not a real good idea to log directly into an open vnc port... or another way
to put this is that it is not a good idea to keep a vnc server port open.
With the first technique the only port open is ssh. Shipping vnc over ssh is
more secure, if not much faster----even compressed.
Is this what you have in mind, or something else?
a ssh connection to hostname with the same user id you are running from.
