Is there a remote desktop for Red Hat linux?
I have a remote game server running Red Hat 3.0 Enterprise edition and would like to be able to have a GUI accessible on the srever like the one you can use with Windows Servers Remote Desktop.
Thanks.

Sure... VNC. Just remember... its not encrypted... so tunnel that over ssh. :)

Wonder why I didn't think of that?
lol
Think I'll blame it on my College professors. lol
Thanks phish.
or try ssh -CX host or ip
the capital C is for Compression
the capital X is for X (graphics)
you need to have some settings in your ssh config and X config changed (perhaps) but usualy this works straigt from the box...
on both computers you need to have an server ( XFree86 or simmilar) installed
and on the client you need to have X running..
Are you running gdm/xdm ?
Do you want to connect from another machine on the LAN or WAN ?
If it's LAN what about loging on remotly using gdm:
On the server run gdmsetup and under security remove the tick from 'Always disallow tcp connections' or similar.
Then on the client <CTRL> <ALT> <F1> to a console & log in then try
X :1 -ac -query server_ip
and you should then on Screen :1 be presented with a gdm login for the server - This ok over a decent bandwidth - if you want to do this over a WAN try looking at this : www.nomachine.com

TightVNC http://www.tightvnc.com
TightVNC automatically tunnels a VNC connection over SSH. Also supports read only and full access passwords. And it tastes delicious!
Actually, TightVNC only encrypts the password, the rest of the communication is not.Quote:

How secure is TightVNC?
Although TightVNC encrypts VNC passwords sent over the net, the rest of the traffic is sent as is, unencrypted (for password encryption, VNC uses a DES-encrypted challenge-response scheme, where the password is limited by 8 characters, and the effective DES key length is 56 bits). So using TightVNC over the Internet can be a security risk. To solve this problem, we plan to work on built-in encryption in future versions of TightVNC.
In the mean time, if you need real security, we recommend installing OpenSSH, and using SSH tunneling for all TightVNC connections from untrusted networks.
