Well, I originally thought SSH could do it - as I vaguelly remembered seeing a 
HOWTO a few years ago. I will do some more googeling to see how - it may have 
been on a BSD list that was on where I saw it.

I wish that I had saved it better, but switching to a pure Linux environment 
caused me to lose a few things along the way.
