[SunRay-Users] Remote access to Linux hosts (Kiosk, SmartCard)

[CJ Keist]

Detlev,
     I assume you're looking for a full desktop session to the linux 
host?  Look into Sun Global Desktop(not free) or /usr/X11/bin/Xephyr 
(free).  Another idea, that I'm working on, is to make the linux host a 
stand alone SRSS server and then use the following command to do the 
same thing:

/opt/SUNWut/bin/utswitch -r -h linux_hostname

The benefit of this is that if you have more than one linux host to 
connect to the SRSS software will take care of load balancing among the 
linux stations.  The downside is getting SRSS to work on linux can be a 
challenge.
