You'll be happy to hear that this means you already have a secure shell client installed, the Unix native ssh. You will find it from the Terminal - more on that later. text/html 2015-08-26T21:04:09+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/old_pages/vnc/windows?rev=1440623049&do=diff Using VNC on Windows Setup Setting up the programs to connect to a VNC server is not too difficult.

The problem was that one of the server maps needed to be manually rebuilt after changes made to our system. The other maps are all dealt with in an automated fashion so I did not notice at first that one of them needed to be built manually.  It is all fixed now. -Greg text/html 2008-05-07T11:29:54+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/old_pages/status/2008-02-05_services_restored_backups_complete?rev=1210159794&do=diff 2008-02-05 Services Restored, Backups complete Tuesday, February 5, 2008 at 10:00am there was a brief interruption to some of the CS servers as we produced a bare metal backup.
