I have times when it is useful for me to check the environment of a
user
system on our lan remotely while trouble shooting and issue with
them. Now,
this is quite easy to do while I am using a windows system via the
computer
management console.
I think we are meaning different things by "environment"?
Can you give a specific example?
However, I am trying to do this via a linux workstation
(which is joined to the domain, etc.). I cannot find a native
facility to duplicate the computer management functions, so I
thought I
would write a program to fill the need.
Anything you can do locally you can do on the remote
machine with a combination of ssh, rsh, rlogin, telnet etc.
ssh is the safest but requires a bit more admin to set it
up properly for maximum convenience.
Having got remote access its just a case of figuring out
which of the 500 or so Unix commands you need to
use to do the job... :-)
