[K12OSN] VNC related question

[Angus Carr]

With the version of vncviewer in Fedora Core 1, you can also use ssh 
implicitly in the vncviewer command line.

man vncviewer shows you the -via option - which is the ssh machine.

I use
vncviewer -via office_external_address 127.0.0.1
which gets me the k12LTSP server on the localhost address, 
port-forwarded through an ssh tunnel. I also use it for a windows box 
elsewhere in the office.
