    Bob you have already gone way to far with with your encrypted home 
directory. Take all that stuff off and use your password. I have used 
ssh for years and never had a problem.

    To get on your computer a person needs to know the IP of your 
system, your home name and password.

    Not sure how you turn on your computer from the remote location but 
new computers seem to be made to do that.
