Jay Friedman

Thank you so much for this important tutorial.

Just hang in there it is eight episodes. When I say you will know what I know I meant it. Sure I could have cheesed out and did one of the transparent SSH vpn like programs. But I wanted folks to really understand it. THEN you can go use one of those if you want.

Where is the "sshd_banner.txt"? It's supposed to be here isn't it?

Mark Childers

This is great. Just what I needed--actually the upcoming episode on port forwarding is just what I need. Will you discuss the process when working on one Leopard and one Tiger machine?

georgestarcher

I don't have Tiger loaded anywhere any more but there are very little in the way of differences. I think only one I recall is Tiger won't prompt to remember passphrases in the keychain.

George mentioned being able to download sshd_banner.txt from the show notes. Where are the notes?

Sorry I was so busy editing I forgot to put it up. George is getting it linked now. The other episodes will follow soon.

Thank you Victor and George, you are plugging a big gap here, nobody seems to have tackled this potentially thorny subject in such an easy to follow way! It would to know how this compares with off the shelf VPN solutions like Logmein etc. Presumably a VNC session over VNC would be far smoother than a logmein session?

Anyway, roll on the next 7 episodes!

georgestarcher

The smoothness of any video remote control is going to be based on your Internet connection quality. But the advantage of doing something like VNC through SSH is that you completely control it. There is no third party software, servers or potential access. It is direct access and completely controlled by you.

sorry to sound stupid, followed the onscreen tutorial in terminal, after following George's advice the following text was displayed: WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss
or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your
typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information. is this a problem or just a warning for the future?!

georgestarcher

sudo is like doing anything as administrator. If you say do a sudo rm command improperly that would be a deletion with admin rights. That is a standard system warning on the sudo command. Like any high level permissions you must be careful and not do things you do not have explicit instructions for.
