Forgive me if this has come up before, but I'm new to both VNC and
Linux/Unix. 

 

What I am trying to do is enable students to access a Sun Solaris computer
from either a Linux computer or an XP PC. On that Sun, students store
instrument analyses, and often want to process this data from their own
computers or from workstations in the lab. 

 

I've got the VNCServer working well on the Sun computer, and I'm able to
connect from both an XP PC and a Linux computer. That part works well and my
boss is tickled pink with how well it looks.

 

What I am concerned with is security. I was going to have the students open
a secure shell (SSH) window, connect to the Sun, and start a vncserver
session. Once that is done, launch their viewer and get to work. After they
are done, they'll close the viewer and then kill the session. 

 

Do I need to do anything else to safeguard and/or streamline this process?

 

Thanks, 

Anne
