Hi Andrew,

I have no problems doing the major of the work needed via ssh and
command line.  However, there are a few things that requires the GUI,
specifically Oracle, for me to do a few things.  Setting the autologin
would allow me to VNC into the system, especially when the system is
rebooted.  However, that poses a security risk for me.  Basically, I'm
looking for something similar to MS Windows' RDP.  Whether the user is
logged or not, anyone with the right access can RDP in.  IIRC, the old
original VNC server used to do that on Windows.  I haven't used VNC
server in about 10~ years.

Thanks,
Tommy
