Xstart form client

[spatel]

I am new to Mandrake. My client wants to telnet to Mandrake 8.0 machine and run x form his machine. How can i set him up? Do i need any other software on client machine? Also how can i do same thing with ssh.

 

Thanks

I have understood well, you are looking for vnc, but take a look to the following links to see if any of them fits better your needs:

 

--first of all DO IT THROUGH ssh, telnet should be deprecated.--

 

here is a link to a simple tutorial to start from (includes references to vnc):

http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/xwin/xnet.html

 

related to ssh:

and related to tunneling X through ssh:

My client has pc and he wants to see linux desktop from his pc? I know its can be done in Solaris with Exceed but i don't know if you can do it on linx or not? Or Can i just bring telnet on pc and run xstart which will start x on pc?

You can use Exceed on linux too: Accessing Linux through Exceed
