# NAME -
# HelpMe
# SYNOPSIS -
# Use as needed
# DESCRIPTION -
# This is just a script I wrote to help my mom and dad. Mom is on a
# MAC these days and Dad is on a Fedora Core 11 laptop.  So in order
# to help them as needed I wrote this.
# This uses port forwarding with SSH so that I can connect to port 8181 on my
# local system and it actually goes to their local port X over the SSH tunnel.
# This way they don't need to poke holes in the router/Firewall.
# The MAC can use VNC but can't X-Forward
# Fedora can do either but I prefer SSH
# REVISIONS -
# 1.0

# My Server/IP - I use my DDNS name to come home.
SERVER='ddnsdomainfor.home.com'

# SSH
function SSH {
ssh -L 8181:localhost:22 ${SERVER}
}

# VNC
function VNC {
ssh -L 8181:localhost:5900 ${SERVER}
}

# Ask what they would like
echo "
Would you like to enable SSH or VNC?
