Remote access to IFL GUI from ssh server
Remote access to IFL GUI from ssh server
Is there any way to get access to the CD environment GUI for IFL while I utilize it from another machine on the LAN from the ssh server? Is the "None" cipher available on it?

The "None" cipher is not available on it.
More than one ssh session can occur at the same time (the default max is 10 I believe).

Re: Remote access to IFL GUI from ssh server
I probably did not ask my question well. What I meant by accessing the GUI in ssh is the following. When I use an ssh client on a remote machine and make a connection with the server running on the IFL environment, all that I see is a command line shell. What command would I need to enter to make the GUI appear on the ssh client machine as well. I am having a blank, senior moment, I suppose.

You cannot get the entire GUI to appear (entire desktop). To run the IFL (GUI) program itself remotely, you can use the ssh -X option, like this: ssh -X -l root <IP address>
That would work from an OS running an X server such as Linux. To run IFL (GUI) from MS Windows, you would need an X server installed on Windows, which is not usually going to be the case. For most running Windows, it would be simpler to use IFL (CUI) over an SSH connection.
Any other functionality you want to use would have to be started from the command line, such as mounting network shares (sharemount), mounting drives/partitions (dpmount), etc.
