VNC for HP-UX 11i V2 and V3 Itanium

[JLS_1]

I have been asked to install VNC for HP-UX 11i V2 and V3 on five Integrity servers and I would like to know if there is a HP product like VNC because I do not want to use VNC per security concerns.

Thanks in advance,

Shalom,

No, as far as I know VNC is the product to use on HP-UX. HP has no equivalent.

Though honestly, secure shell lets you administer the systems in a very secure way.

ssh -X hostname command

That can give you an X windows session on an HP-UX system that is running the font server, and CDE.

ssh -X is a pretty effective replacement for VNC and is more secure.

OK thanks
last question is where can I find inforamtion about ssh -X so I can
explain it to the DBAs.

Thanks for your time and answer.

Shalom,

My first suggestion is the man page for ssh

The options are explained pretty well on HP-UX

I would explain it to the DBA's with a little demonstration.

Good luck.
