Connecting to a computer that does not have a host running
Configuring a host to run on Linux or Mac OS X using Quick
Deploy and Connect
The first time that you use Quick Deploy and Connect to connect to a computer
that runs Linux or Mac OS X, pcAnywhere prompts you for configuration
information using the Host Configuration Wizard. You only need to configure the
host properties once. Symantec pcAnywhere reuses these settings for all
subsequent Quick Deploy and Connect sessions with computers that run Linux
or Mac OS X.
If the host computer to which you want to connect is running any version of
Samba, it will appear in the Quick Deploy and Connect browse list. You can also
provide the computer name or IP address.
When you select the computer to which you want to connect, you are immediately
prompted for your logon credentials. These are the user logon credentials that
are required by the operating system of the host computer. Symantec pcAnywhere
might prompt you for root credentials depending on the login state of the
computer.
After you deploy the host, pcAnywhere prompts you for caller logon credentials.
You configure these credentials when you set up the initial host properties. After
pcAnywhere validates your credentials, the Session Manager appears on your
screen.
See " Configuring deployment security options for Linux and Mac OS X "
