Hi ya'll,
I built a new CentOS 5.1 server for a client, housing a Lotus Notes / Domino server, and various other virtualized IBM software server guests, and soon will have to physically move that server to another distant location.
My question is that I will need secure access to those servers via X, not just the C/L terminal. What do you recommend for a good secure CentOS program which would do this. Would also want to access via a high port, but I am sure just about any program will allow this to be manually configured.
Thanks for your help and input.
How about tunneling X11 over ssh (ssh -X). Or one of the VNC variants (I think one or more support encryption, or you could do ssh port forwarding).
If you go the SSH route make sure that X forwarding is enabled on your server(/etc/ssh/sshd_config), from what I can tell the default in CentOS 4.6 is enabled, I imagine it is enabled in 5.1 as well.
