[CLUE-Tech] Logging into WindowsNT from a Linux machine

[Dan Harris]

To remotely control NT machines from Linux, I would suggest TridiaVNC, a 
cousin of the VNC (Virtual Network Computing project).  
http://www.tridiavnc.com

To get root access, first login via ssh (using putty.exe) as a normal 
user.  Then use the 'su' (super user) command to gain root access.  root 
login is usually disabled remotely for obvious security reasons.
