Require help accessing Ultra10 at home from work.

[tonypx]

Please can anyone offer any help or advice on this:

I have an ULTRA 10 (qfe card) sat on a LAN (10/100) at home. The LAN sits behind an ADSL router which is set up to the internet through btyahoo. (I have 2 win XP machines at home on the same LAN.

I would like to have remote access to my 'Ultra 10' from work so I can remotely access the command-line and play around with it.

Can anyone offer any advice on how to start with this? (including security etc).

I am running Solaris 9 and it is the full OEM installation.

Kindest Regards

Use secure shell, make sure it's up to date so that you aren't exposed by any known vulnerabilities; forward port 22 from your ADSL router to the IP address of your Solaris box, and log in as you normally would.

Post if you get stuck or need more details on any particular step.

Another couple of thoughts, check your sshd_config file for sanity, make sure it denies root logins for example, and also make sure that all users have suitably secure passwords (i.e. not the same as their usernames, which is so often the case!)
