Gain remote access to Macs behind AirPort Base Stations
Authored by: clamstrip on May 20, '03 06:30:07PM

using ssh you have command line access as if you were running Terminal. but if you REALLY want "remote access"
install osxvnc on the remote system and use one of the vnc clients to access it. i happen to use "chicken of the vnc."
the cool part is using an ssh connection to tunnel the vnc
port, no need to map an additional port, plus your traffic
will be encrypted!

here's the ssh command i use to connect
ssh -A -C -x -L 5901:localhost:5900 myuid@my.airport.base.ip
login as usual, then if need be you can start osxvnc from the
command line
open /Applications/VNC/OSXvnc.app
switch back to your local vnc client, enter its password and boom, remote desktop appears on your local desktop.
