i'd suggest vnc: http://www.realvnc.com/ http://www.tightvnc.com/ you use realvnc to install the server, then tightvnc to connect (i find it's faster than the normal vnc client. then to connect all you need is X running and: $ vncviewer <ipaddress> security note: vnc is *not* encrypted and is not generally considered secure. any ports you open/forward should be directed to your ip only. even better, try a knocking daemon. -- i hope that we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country. - thomas Jefferson, 1816 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
