all, i am trying to connect to my remote computer (server) and view the
desktop using vinagre, over an SSH tunnel. both systems are running 10.04
on the server, i have run vino-preferences and allowed users to connect
and control the computer, and i required a password. the server is
behind a firewall and the only port forwarded is for SSH.
on the client, in my ~/.ssh/config file i have the following:
host server
ForwardX11 yes
Hostname xxx.yyy.zzz.www
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/keypairs/scar.server
LocalForward 9999 localhost:5900
then, i use 'ssh server' to log in. in vinagre, i connect using VNC
protocol to "localhost:9999". after several seconds i am asked for the
VNC password. after i enter it, my own desktop shows up in vinagre!
very strange and rather alarming. what the heck is going wrong?
thanks
