This is one receipe for connecting to your BIAC computer remotely from a Mac:
Install SSH Agent (http://www.phil.uu.nl/~xges/ssh/)
open SSH Agent, from File, select 'New Tunnel...'
Fill in settings:
Local Port: 3390
User: your username
Tunnel Host: nernst.biac.duke.edu
Tunnel Port: 80
Remote Host: yourcomputer.dhe.duke.edu
Remote Port: 3389
click 'Open', shortly after you should be queried for your password to your desktop. And then the program will just run without giving you any notice that you are connected (it notifies for failures).
Start up your remote desktop software (I use Windows Remote Desktop Connection:mac), for the IP address to connect to, enter "localhost:3390"
Hopefully this will help some other people... Thank Francis for helping me sort this out! |

Chris,
Is the "your BIAC computer" referencing a physical machine over at Hock or is the RDC scheme below being used to simply access an individual account on nernst (e.g., Browndyke/My Documents)? For instance, could I use the process above to access my account section on the computers in the BIAC3 suite?
Sorry, I'm new to this stuff.

Does any of the above apply to Snow Leopard? The OIT SSH-FTP client isn't supported in Snow Leopard, so I'm looking for a different way to download my MR data remotely.
Jeff
------------------
Nevermind. I found a good freeware SSH-FTP client for Snow Leopard called "Cyberduck". Shoot me a message if you want more info. Jeff |

I am able to remote desktop with a full screen by selecting 'full screen' option under preferences/display/Remote Desktop size. |

There's no real "full-screen" option on a mac, but you can use the + button on the top left-hand corner and that will maximize the screen size to you iMac screen ... it won't take up the full screen.
i am able to drag the window bigger also.
and thirdly, if you open your default RDP configuration file there is a section for screen size:
<key>DesktopSize</key>
<dict>
<key>DesktopHeight</key>
<integer>768</integer>
<key>DesktopWidth</key>
<integer>1024</integer>
</dict>

FYI: Outside of biac, to use the Apple Remote Desktop Client
after its installed, open ssh:
ssh -N -L3390:yourcomputer.dhe.duke.edu:3389 username@nernst.biac.duke.edu -p 80
open RDC:
connect to "localhost:3390"
this will login to your remote machine. |

Here's a link to the free Apple Remote Desktop Connection Client 2.0. |

Forgot to mention in the step above, you must write "-o defer_permissions " in the advanced option field, otherwise it fails. |

It is also possible to mount nernst in the finder outside of dhe.
1. install macfuse, sshfs and macfusion:
this requires a reboot
2. launch macfusion
a-favorites: edit then click +
b-name: NERNST server: nernst.biac.duke.edu username: your login then OK
c-save the password in the keychain
3. The mounted disk should now appear on the desktop
4. If you are running Leopard and would like the icon in the finder, go to finder preferences>sidebar and check external disks. If it NERNST doesn't show in the sidebar, you may have to drag it from the desktop and snap it into the sidebar. |

If you are a duke employee, student or faculty you can also download ssh software at no cost from the OIT website.
