From: Todd on 29 Sep 2009 14:29 Hi All, I am converting a number of M$ machines over to Linux for a customer. Problem: I can not longer use Go To Assist Express to assist users over the Internet. Is there an alternative in Linux? Many thanks, -T

Configure their machines to include a user that has sudo capabilities, configure the sshd, hosts.allow, iptables and perimeter security to allow ssh from your location using your keys, then ssh as the user and use sudo to accomplish the tasks needed from your remote location.

I have no idea what 'Go To Assist Express' is. Real easy way to find out....just type that phrase in Firefox's (or whatever) url field and be taken directly to that software's web site. A quick glance at the screen should show the average user what this particular software functions are. Took about 10 secs max here.... ......but you knew that already, didn't you?. |
