Post by Roger BinnsDid I mention using SSH for securing the connection to you? I can use
ssh with port forwarding to pick up the VNC stuff.
You didn't mention it but I should set it up. I'll have to read how to
do it.
Post by Roger BinnsI am slammed this week, and have had my schedule unexpectedly pick
up for the next few weeks.
I'm starting a new contract with someone 1.5 hours away, so for the
next week I'll also be out a lot. I'll set the system up as described,
let you know when it is set up, and you can check to see if it works.
Post by Roger BinnsWill the system always be up? I am currently spending a few hours
here and there on BitPim rather than large chunks of time.
The system is always up, but my kids don't always log out. I think
that if I turn on auto-logout the logout will fail if they have unsaved
work.
If you send me your IP address I'll set the cable modem / router to
forward VNC packets to the Mac, set the Mac firewall up to only take
VNC from your IP address (the cable modem won't let me do that), give
you an account, and turn on auto-logout. I'll trust you to just
disconnect and tell me if you connect to a logged in Mac. If that
turns out to be a problem we'll address it.
The system shares a KVM with a windows game system, so from about
10:00PM Eastern on the kids will be playing games and the system will
be free and you can feel free to try to use it 10:00PM to 7:00AM
Eastern. I think you're on the West coast, right?
One other thing I just realized. I don't think I have the development
tools installed so I'll have to check that out (this is mostly a note
for myself and not you).
