Tell me about step 2. Step two - turn on sshd service if its not already on (look under system settings for servers, find the entry for sshd, turn it on, start it, and save the new configuration out) Go to another machine and ssh back into the first one (actually, you can test this from the same machine, but it just feels better to actually test over a real net conxn [and its a better test]). "ssh myname@mynachine(cr)" Once you show that you can login, look back over this email thread, several folks posted the various ways to do X over shh, pick one and try it. if it doesn't go, ask another question. > > -- Linux/Open Source: Your infrastructure belongs to you, free, forever.
