Sorry venku, I don't quite understand... If your looking for command line/shell access then I suggest SSH (secure shell) or openSSH and as for multiple users simultaneously... that's what Linux does. It's a multi-user, multi-tasking OS. SSH is probably already installed, just enable the daemon (on boot) if necessary. As for the Windows machines, download a client like this one: Putty SSH client for Windows Is this a new install? Do you have Linux Server experience? Feel free to ask any question!!  -------------------- The Owls are not what they seem...

venku,
Where did you go? I thought we were going to configure that server for multi-user SSH (secure shell). We never got to chkconfig the ssh daemon for run levels 3 and 5. Come on back

My first suggestion is to update to a newer version. If you are wanting to use the server for file sharing you need to install Samba.

Hey venku, Your back It sounds like your looking for something like openVPN Here is their download site (source code) You say you are new to Linux so I would suggest an .RPM package from the links below. I assume you can unpack and install RPM packages. First you will need to install this: Pick the Package for your OS Then you can install this: Again Pick the Package for your OS This documentation explains openVPN better than I ever could openVPN documentation So where do we stand????? You will install the RPM packages and be able to get openVPN working. OR What's a RPM package and what do I do with it? (In which case, we need to go over some basics first) -------------------- The Owls are not what they seem...

One more option would be VNC
or (Virtual Network Computing). There is some configuring needed or so I'm told, I've never used nor saw a VNC connection in action. I wouldn't be much help with this option, maybe someone else... -------------------- The Owls are not what they seem...

Good news venku,
After my last post, I decided to try vnc on my openSUSE box... It was very simple and worked 2 different ways. I installed tightVNC server and started it. I also had to let the ports out of the firewall. On a separate windows machine, I entered the server name (could also use ip address) and port. http://your-server-name:5801 and BAM!!! (sorry emeril) my graphical login on openSUSE. To improve options and speed, I downloaded the UltraVNC viewer (has support for Vista). Now I have my openSUSE box on any machine, anywhere behind my router. Yes you can login to any existing account. (VERY COOL!!) should have tried this earlier. If anyone wants to know the exact technical details of my installation, just reply to this thread. -------------------- The Owls are not what they seem...
