For those who looked at my SSH key problem earlier I should
indicate that I wiped out my windows box and was setting stuff up again.
As part of that I wanted to get synergy working, but since I don’t trust
any network I tunnel synergy through SSH. The default ssh client I had
did not support port forwarding without paying for a professional license, so I
installed cygwin\OpenSSH and, besides being a slow download/install it worked
out very well. I then created a simple script to use the keys I set up
and make the port forward connection “ssh -f -N -L
24800:fedora.cornerstonehome.com:24800 boneal@fedora.cornerstonehome.com”
in my case. I set this to run on start up and used the synergy
client’s set up GUI to initiate the synergy client at startup also.
I first tried to put the start up command in the script but that did not
work. It connected and the server behaved normally but the client could
not receive any mouse or keyboard commands from the server until after client
login. Also it would not send Ctl-Alt-Del commands. My mouse is
still a bit jumpy, but I think that will go away once I unplug the direct connect
from the client box.
Just thought I would keep you updated and say thanks again
