[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: [FW1] Remote OS Management
It's true that VNC itself is inherently insecure, but it's elementary to pipe the VNC connection through SSH, which does render VNC secure. So long as you have an SSH server at your office or whatnot, running secure VNC should be a viable option. bca -----Original Message----- From: Mark Squire [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2001 11:08 PM To: 'Brian Aust'; 'Jamie Allison '; 'Fw-1 List (E-mail) ' Subject: RE: [FW1] Remote OS Management Last I checked that was not secure. No?

I'm just thinking out aloud here... If I want to remotely manage a number FW-1 boxes (for patches, FW-1 upgrades etc) the choice of platforms would include Nokia or UNIX, but has anyone got an opinion about how you would remotely manage an NT box (or if you would even want to!). My first thought would be a PC Anywhere type application on the box accessed through a VPN, or modem. But then I remembered that Win2K includes a Windoze Terminal Server thin client gizmo (BTW: A horrible beast to licence, even though it's included "free" with the OS). Perhaps I could use Win2K TS for remote administration. Has anyone done this, or better still has anyone got FW-1 (sp3) running on Win2K? Cheers, Jamie. PS: Thanks to everyone that responded to my AIX query.
