YaST Remote Administration
İçindekiler
About
Remote Administration is used to allow the machine to be administered remotely from another machine. This is done by using a VNC client, such as kdrc (connect to <hostname>:5901), or a java capable web browser (connect to http://<hostname>:5801/). Here, a checkbox may be selected to open a port in the Firewall, which may also be set using YaST. This option is only available if the Firewall is enabled.

- hostname:5901 (this connects to a new display - :1 - through the VNC server)
TightVNC Viewer connection options
- hostname::5900 (this connects to the existing display - :0 - through the X-server)
