sshfs for remote file mounting

VNC server, tightvnc

X11vnc, to control the primary screen		 some notes:
  • tightvnc, the client is in the package manager.
  • To automate sshd @ startup: in etc/rc.d/rc.local, put /usr/sbin/sshd
  • To automate VNC server: 
        in /root/.xinitrc   (before jwm, above current wm, below sleep3) put vncserver -geometry 800x600 -depth=8
  • to make x11vnc produce a slightly smaller screen to avoid scrolling on the host:
           # x11vnc -scale .93:nb
  • put the sshfs pet on both the local and remote machine.
  • make the directory that will be the mount point on the local machine
    in the below example it's '/root/opt'
  • sshfs example usage:
    # sshfs 192.168.1.119:/opt /root/opt -o sftp_server=/usr/libexec/sftp-server

    This mounts /opt on the remote machine on root/opt on the local machine.
    The -o sftp-server path may or may not be necessary. It should use the one in sshd_config
