152148	2003-06-13 04:00:00	Okay.. First things first is Linux Networking, Ive never done it? Ive always used Samba to help out. So, The PC's connect all fine and everything.. Now, I have a CD-R/W in a PC aptly named P300 (Bet ya cant guess the processor speed :p). Both PC's are running RedHat 9, and I wanna share the CD-R/W over the LAN so my main RedHat PC can burn from it? Ive heard its possible, and easier than using NeroNET in doze? Thanks Chilling_Silence	Chilling_Silently (228)

When sshd is running, from one of the clients just use: ssh 192.168.0.7 -l username Replacing the address & username with something relevent for the P300. It will ask for the users password will give you a normal terminal on the remote system. If you just want to run a specific app, you can add it after the above line eg: ssh 192.168.0.7 -l username k3b Which will run the cd burner app I use (K3B). You can add the commands to a gnome/kde app launcher thing to save typing, but you will need to turn on "show terminal" so you can enter your password. If it complains about not having a DISPLAY or somethig, add the -X option to the above commands. It will work with any application because X uses a client-server design, allowing the client and server to be on seperate machines. And unlike vnc you can hardly tell its running over a network.	bmason (508)
152150	2003-06-13 07:28:00	I use PuTTY from Win32 (And Im using VMWare at the moment...) Basically I heard you can mount it like a local CD-Rom? Is that possible? In the mean time.. Ive saved this thread and I'll get 2 work later this evening! *Borrow's GodFather's ball.... see's a long night ahead for himself... then returns the ball* ;-) Thanks	Chilling_Silently (228)
152151	2003-06-13 14:13:00	I cant get the GUI going :( Im used to using PuTTY in Win32 so Im all comfortable with the command line.. but what about X? I add the -X to it and dont get anything?	Chilling_Silently (228)
152152	2003-06-14 07:46:00	I though you said both machines were running linux. The above stuff will work, but you will need to install an Xserver on the windows machines. There is a windows port of xfree available at: sources.redhat.com When its setup you will get roughtly the same as using a linux machine: homepages.paradise.net.nz homepages.paradise.net.nz	bmason (508)
