Is there a way to do remote administration on my Sun/Solaris 2.5? I have a server that is running an old copy of ARCServe 2.2 and I need to do monthly administration on it. The only way to use it is from the server so I want to use a VNC type product to do it. Since I know zip about unix, I am hoping that someone can help me. Is there such a thing? Does it come with installation instructions for a unix dummy?

Thanks, Pam
Yeah, VNC via SSH Tunnel would be the way to go.

It would be best to learn the basics of Unix before attempting to setup VNC but it is not too difficult to get up and running. If you perform a Google search you can find a large number of "How-To" guides.
