Maybe I'm just crazy I'll just enforce some good rules in my firewall maybe and just not connect from strange computers.<div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 5:52 PM, Colin K <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:colin@void11.com">colin@void11.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I've done this by carrying a usb key with my favourite stuff.<br>
(e.g. ssh + cygwin1.dll + ssh_config, in a directory, or putty, plus whatever other useful stuff I can think of that fits.) Means I don't have to reboot their system.<br>
<br>
You could also carry a livecd or a liveusb key - you reboot their system, but it never touches their hard drive. (And if you partition your key, and perhaps even if not, you can put this stuff on one side, and the above stuff on the other.)<br>
<br>
I've used this to ssh home then tunnel through it to my systems with vnc. [Doing some of what John's message suggests, but he says it better.] e.g. From Conestoga college, library, etc.<br>

If you have a PDA, don't know if there's something in there you might find useful. e.g. You could ssh home, just not sure you'd want to from a pda. But could be useful for a quick log in to tail a log file or see if someone's dropped a file you were waiting for. Tethering?<br>

I'm trying to set up something that is computer agnostic so that I dont have<br>
to change people's systems much in order to access my own network when im<br>
without my laptop.<br>
