[Cialug] Remote Access

[David Stout]

Well I am able to SSH in and can get a terminal window. The problem was that outgoing port 22 was blocked here at work. Thank you to everyone who responded. 
  I do have another question in regard to this can I tunnel vnc though SSH? if so where would I find documentation on doing that.

  IIRC, the password doesn't actually get sent in the clear. It's everything 
after the authentication we should worry about. The entire session can be 
listened-in on after you've logged in. The data stream can be captured, 
saved, and replayed at any point in the future, and that includes all 
keystrokes.
