We use SSH exclusivly for all UNIX systems here, no telnet daemons anywhere.

I have used SSH tunneling with Netview and had no problems with it. I use SSH tunneling for other things to and it works fine.
Never used it on an AIX system but it should be the same.

Just remember you have to do the following to be able to login as a user, su to root and then run an X application through the tunnel:

$ su -
# xauth merge /home/user/.Xauthority
# nv6000 -dconsole

Or you could just do a remote root login but if the sysadmin has done his job that won't happen :-)

[nv-l] ssh and Netview on AIX 5.1






Does anyone use this combination? Would you like to share you expertise on the required configuration? Do you have any special problems? They are getting ready to take away telnet at this particular site and try to use ssh and tunneling. Makes me nervous.... Thanks.
