 Alternatively you can tunnel to helada, see section ''%%ssh-forwarding%%''.
-I note that some Allegro members are accustomed to use the -Y flag instead of -X. Both flags perform exactly the same function (i.e., they allow you to see graphical output remotely, as well as the standard text-based output), but the -Y flag turns off any security checking. In general this is a bad thing to do. You should use -X by default unless you have a specific problem with this on one of the (nominally at least) trusted Sterrewacht machines.

-Note, that if you have protected your private key with a password, you have to type it in at the hand-over. But that will only happen once per session.

 There a description of how to connect with VNC in the [[https://helpdesk.strw.leidenuniv.nl/wiki/doku.php?id=vnc|Sterrewacht documentation]], but additional notes are provided here for the convenience of Allegro members.
+<note>**#ALEX/ANDRES: Check with VNCGuide (https://trello.com/c/qWxSMNv0/84-vnc-guide-for-allegro) that information is correct.**</note>
 VNC requires a server to be running on helada; you can run a viewer on your local machine to connect with that server. Starting and stopping the viewer doesn't affect the server. You can also (it seems) connect from more than one laptop/viewer to the same server.

 It seems that the ''%%xstartup%%'' file needs to be executable - i.e. it should have the ''%%x%%'' in its permissions set.
