Re: [nv-l] ssh and Netview on AIX 5.1

[Christian Frantsen <cfrantse@csc.com>]

We use SSH exclusivly for all UNIX systems
here, no telnet daemons anywhere.

I have used SSH tunneling with Netview
and had no problems with it. I use SSH tunneling for other things to and
it works fine.
Never used it on an AIX system but it
should be the same.

Just remember you have to do the following
to be able to login as a user, su to root and then run an X application
through the tunnel:

$ su -
# xauth merge /home/user/.Xauthority
# nv6000 -dconsole

Or you could just do a remote root login
but if the sysadmin has done his job that won't happen :-)

Subject	[nv-l] ssh and Netview on AIX 5.1

Does anyone use this combination? Would you like to share you expertise
on the required configuration? Do you have any special problems? They are
getting ready to take away telnet at this particular site and try to use
ssh and tunneling. Makes me nervous.... Thanks.
