Zaurus: Remote Control?
« on: February 08, 2005, 06:33:32 pm »
I have  connected a pc to my stereo with my CDs encoded to mp3. On my debian systems I can issue: ssh -n -f -l root kathix.elkins xmms and control songs, playlists, whatever. However, I'd like to use my Zaurus 5500 as a pseudo-remote via wi-fi. After installing OZ 2.5.2/GPE and issuing the command above I get:

WARNING: Ignoring unknown argument '-n'
WARNING: Ignoring unknown argument '-f'
ssh: connection to root@kathix.elkins:22 exited: No auth methods could be used.

I installed OZ with GPE so I'd be able to take advantage of X. I'd appreciate a clue as to how to get this working!

BTW, I've tried VNC and was not impressed. My goal is to have remote xmms running on the Z with minimal overhead.

Help!
