Guys, Somebody let me know last week that my emails looked kinda screwed up (having to do w/ html settings). I'm trying some changes to my settings, but I can't tell on my system if it's making any difference. This should be a new paragraph. Then I'm going to skip 2 lines. Is my formatting coming out correctly? I don't want to be a nuisance on this list and if I can't get it right I'm going to switch to a different free-email provider.

You can pipe a command for the server through ssh (although I'm not 100% sure of the syntax -- maybe somebody else could help w/ that). This would allow you to set up menu items (in icewm anyway) that would call ssh and call the app for you. ssh will ask for password info each time it is called unless you do one of the following: 1) Use key authentication with empty passphrases (see man ssh-keygen for more info) 2) Use ssh-agent to remember your password / passphrase after it has been used once. (see man ssh-agent for more info). -Rob --- On Fri 02/11, Les Mikesell < les@futuresource.com > wrote: From: Les Mikesell [mailto: les@futuresource.com] To: k12osn@redhat.com Cc: robowens@myway.com Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2005 14:36:18 -0600 Subject: Re: [K12OSN] Linux TS help On Fri, 2005-02-11 at 14:22, Sharon Betts wrote: > Thanks Rob, > My thick clients are linux boxes -- is there anyway to have them access > both the terminal servers? > Sharon If they are already running X, use 'rdesktop' to connect to Windows terminal services. Ssh to a Linux box and start any X program by typing it's name and the window opens on your desktop. You can also connect the ssh command to desktop icon if you like. Or you can make a locally-booted Linux box act like a thin client by starting in text mode, then starting X like: X -query server to run the whole desktop remotely. -- Les Mikesell les@futuresource.com <hr>No banners.
