You could do it using SSH and even use a Windows client like putty to connect to it. I would tie the connection to an IP address for security reasons. The question is how would they connect to the computer over the Internet, via phone, etc?

Hi
thanks that link was good and if i use ssh to connect to my computer it works a treat, is there a way to offer a more flexible option, where a user can use any telnet client to access the computer |

Of course there is a way to use telnet, but you did want it done
Quote:
 To enable telnet on ur box: edit /etc/inetd.conf and unhash the line containing telnet as the service. it should look something like: telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd just remove the # before it. check /etc/services to see if you have the telnet service there it should look something like telnet 23/tcp If it still doesnt work .. check to see if you have a file: /etc/xinetd.d/telnet edit it and change the line that reads disable=yes to disable=no Having said that, its really a bad way of going about things; and I'd strongly suggest you look at SSH closer
