Configuring a Linux host or Mac OS X for deployment
The first time that you use the Quick Deploy and Connect feature to connect to a
Linux computer or a Mac OS X computer, pcAnywhere prompts you for
configuration information. You only need to configure the host properties once.
Symantec pcAnywhere reuses these settings for all subsequent Quick Deploy and
Connect sessions with computers that run Linux or Mac OS X.
If the host computer to which you want to connect is running any version of
Samba, it will appear in the Quick Deploy and Connect browse list. You can also
provide the computer name or IP address.
When you select the computer to which you want to connect, you are immediately
prompted for your logon credentials. These are the user logon credentials that
are required by the operating system of the host computer. Symantec pcAnywhere
might prompt you for root credentials depending on the login state of the
computer.
