[X-Unix] Run a VPN on a Mac?

[John Harrold]

Sometime in June Andre Perwin assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| If your goal is to access files on your home computer while you are 
| away, perhaps all you need to use is Secure Shell (SSH) built-in to OSX.
| 
| Apple's Remote Desktop will let you "take-over" a remote computer, but 
| it is $$$.
| 
| You would, however, need a static IP number on your home system (i think).

I use dyndns.org to map host names to my dynamic ip address. The basic
service is free and all you have to do is run a client on your computer at
home. You can use your own domain, or use one that the dyndns folks
provide.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
