I followed this vcast: http://howto.diveintomark.org/remote-mac/
Enabled remote login on the mac.
ssh-keygen -t to create keys.
Updated the /etc/sshd_config file to portForwarding yes and usePAM no.
Created the authorized_keys file in the .ssh directory and added a public key.
Set the port forwarding on my Verizon dsl modem to my mac's ip address.
Set up a dynamic dns for the mac. Ping successful.
In putty, I pointed to the private key file, and in ssh-tunnels, added a forwarded port to localhost:5900.
Putty gives me "Network error: connection refused"
I disabled the router firewall, and the mac firewall is disabled for remote login - no good.
Any clues? Thanks in advance.
