I'm looking for a way for multiple remote users to connect to their own session (i.e. login with their own username/password) and be able to work in a graphical environment (preferably Gnome). I vaguely remember reading something about this once, but I can't remember where. Can some one point me to a How-To or a website dealing with this?

They would need a X server on their end (either in Linux or a win32 version) and you would need to allow X sessions to be exported over ssh.

Haven't set it up myself...

You could use VNC (vncviewer and vncserver) and even can work through a browser.

At work, I also use Xnest (part of Xfree) to give me a GUI session while connecting to AIX (IBM's Unix) or to another Linux box. I do recommend Xnest as it is simple to use and could already be installed with your distro.

If your interested in Xnest, let me know and I can give you more info.
