Site Computer

System name is CUES-Mini, it's at 192.168.220.251 on the MMSA Employee Net and at 72.67.190.65 from anywhere. SSH is the only port forwarded to the system from the outside.

VNC over SSH

Getting onto the system from the outside:

I've got the site system accepting VNC connections via an SSH tunnel. Here's a good VNC over SSH HowTo.

That's designed for the Mac but you'll get the idea. Username is "cues".

The key bit is the login tunnel:

ssh cues@72.67.190.65 -L 5900:localhost:5900

Then, on the Mac anyhow, you'll fire up a VNC session (Command-K from the Finder) and enter:

vnc://localhost:0

Backups

System is running TimeMachine onto "CUES-TimeMachine" drive which is a 160GB laptop drive plugged in via USB. The VMware Fusion system is set to take Auto-SnapShots in order to keep from having to backup the entire VM every TimeMachine instance as explained here.

Colee is also keeping a CCCloner copy of the system at UCSB.
