Looking for a good remote management utility for OES Linux.  I'm new to Linu
x.  I would have thought that Novell would have brought over or made availab
le a remote utility for OES Linux but I have yet to find one from Novell.  D
oes anyone know of a good u
tility for me?  Right now I have one test Linux server but for me to do anyt
hing with it I have to be AT the server to do it and coming from a NetWare b
ackground of Rconsole, RconsoleJ, and Remote Manager that sucks.

I have seen VNC out there but it requires you to click OK on the server to a
ccept a request.  That just won't work for me.  Unless I have it setup wrong
 and that is very possible.

Thanks.

For the command line, there is SSH, which is the de-facto standard for
remote console access. PuTTY is a nice SSH tool for Windows, just google
for putty, it'll probably be the first result.

For web-based remote management, the Novell Remote Manager is still
there that you love from Netware. Just go to http://yourserver:8008.

I don't understand the "OK" problem you have with VNC. Could you explain
in more detail? If you enable VNC remote administration on OES during
the install, it should work just fine, very similar to Terminal Server
on Windows.

In YAST - go to Network Services/Remote Administration.  From there you
can enable the built in VNC server and log into it as if you were at the
console.  The vnc address is the server-ip/hostname:1.
