14. RGS
HP Remote Graphics Software (RGS) is a high-performance remote desktop
connection protocol. The sender part is already installed on a217 and is ready to
be used, see the next picture in the left top of the screen.
To make use of RGS a sender and a receiver is needed. The sender installed on
the a217 computer system can be accessed by a receiver for which a Linux and a
Windows version are included on the Linux DVD delivered with the system. The
receiver must be installed on another system in the network which can “see” the
a217 computer system.
Windows version:
/media/CDROM/vistec/rgs/receiver/win32/Setup.exe
Execute this file in a Windows environment and follow the steps to install it.
Linux 64bit version
/media/CDROM/vistec/rgs/receiver/x86_64
Execute in this directory install.sh and follow the steps to install it.
14.1. RGS through a ssh tunnel
To be able to setup a RGS session through a ssh tunnel, be sure the next items
are set correctly.
o
/etc/hosts
The host
name “a217” is default in the line of localhost
:
127.0.0.1 a217 localhost.localdomain localhost
Be sure the hostname
“a217” is on a separate line with the IP-address of
the machines internet:
10.132.60.20 a217
o
Create a tunnel from another ssh client system as follows:
[user@host ~]$ ssh pg@a217 –L<port>:<ip|name>:<port>
Like
[user@host ~]$ ssh pg@a217 –L42966:a217:42966
o
As host in the RGS receiver (=client) put the local host IP-address. NOT
localhost itself:
127.0.0.1
