Remote access is important in the AniNIX, and so we support the use of the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Secure_Shell OpenSSH] protocol via ShadowArch to supporting hosts.

Etymology

SSH is named for the protocol on which it's built.

Relevant Files and Software

Most of this service's configuration lives in [file:///etc/ssh/sshd_config sshd_config]. This includes match statements on what groups are allowed to connect, allowed protocols, and somewhat importantly the ForceCommand directives that hold certain users captive to specific operations.

VNC and X11 forwarding can be used over SSH to allow graphical clients. X11 forwarding without SSH compression is generally slower. To allow VNC, log in over SSH and forward remote port 5901 to localhost port 5901. Start the VNC server on the remote, and use a VNC viewer like tightVNC portable to view the remote desktop.
