Server Stuff

[eyceguy]

Hey all,
I have a network at home and am trying to setup something like the computers here at my university. I want to be able to setup one computer to be a central server and then allow multiple logins from other computers. I tried using VNC but that somehow wanted a user to be logged on and then that user would be "logged in" twice when another computer connected to it with VNC. I looked at LTSP, but from what I gathered that was best used in a diskless computer. Basically what I want is for my little brother to have an account on my Linux Box and be able to login to it from his windows computer.

Thanx

What kind of account? If you just want a shell account, read up on the adduser command. Then you'll wan't to set up ssh and install an ssh client on the windows computer.

TightVNC for win32 will do nicely if you want a x, or putty for an ssh client will do nicely for this.
