Then, I’ll walk through SSH port fowards, compression, and encryption options. There are a few things we need to do prior to using it, especially on low bandwidth links. Next, I’m going to discuss getting the Windows VNC client ready to go. If you’re doing Unix to Unix VNC tunneling with SSH, you can skip this item and the next one, since your SSH is good to go. (Just lock your desktop or logout before you get up.)įirst, I’m going to walk through installation of the Windows NT based OpenSSH daemon, which works basically like it does under Unix, but it’s been ported to work properly under Windows. xsession, enter the phrases once, then you’re good to go. Keychain is a very slick way of maintaining RSA key passphrases in memory safely without having to type them in all the time. It’s discussed at length by it’s author in a IBM developerWorks article.
(This works end to end doing Linux to Linux straight up as well, but I am on my W2K laptop right now.)Īdditionally, I’m going to briefly mention configuring Keychain under Debian.

This ties in nicely with my recent wireless articles, including my initial adoption and compiling and configuring drivers.So, while I suck down a nice root beer float and listen to some excellent Jazz, won’t you join me as I discuss configuring VNC to be secure via OpenSSH, using some port forward magic, encryption, and an optional lite install of OpenSSH on Windows NT/2K/XP courtesy of Cygwin and Network Simplicity. I’m doing it, coincidently enough, over VNC encrypted via SSH. I write this sitting at Maude’s Cafe in downtown Gainesville via GRU‘s public wireless network which was just deployed.
