I'll look forwards to that, then! Cheers again, man, Doug.

Well ssh is the easy bit! I always got confused with setting up the "ssh tunnel" on the machine you were sitting at.

I think I've got it now though. The actual setting up of OpenSSH and VNC on the remote machine was easy. It's connecting to the damn things though firewalls and stuff!

Apparently OpenSSH uses OpenSSL extensively -- that's what me book says, anyway. Probably not on any level that I'll ever need to know about, though. I use SSH at work (in a safe environment), so once I've got it set up, at least I'll be familiar with the easy bits.

Well that's lucky!

I'm not sure how related OpenSSL and OpenSSH are though.....

To be honest don't get frustrated if you can't figure out what to do. I find it very confusing, but I've just about got my head around it.

OpenSSL,

so

that's all very synchronous! ;)

Hi,

Linux has had this for years. You can use both a shell login (that gives you a "terminal" on the remote machine) or combine it with VNC. VNC will enable you to have a remote graphic desktop.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC

Have a read of those two pages, and have a stab at it. You will have to get your hands a bit dirtier than with LogMeIn, but you'll have a more secure connection with no mysterious third parties involved.

You will definately have to forward some ports on routers and firewalls.

Good luck.

Hi -- I already remotely administrate a PC for my Mum & one for my

Dad,

and

both are Windows machines. So LogMeIn.com is perfect for those. However, I am setting up an Ubuntu machine for my brother that will also require remote administration, and was wondering about the best way to set that up. Unfortunately, LogMeIn.com only works for Mac and Windows. Could anyone offer any advice? Cheers, Doug.
