-	~~----~~	+	KDE's ksysguard GUI application is a client which connects to the ksysguardd (daemon part of ksysguard) which is either running already, or is started only on demand.
-	~~How~~ to ~~achieve this?~~	+	Of course, the ksysguardd deamon can also run on a remote machine, like the Linkstation.

-	To be ~~continued tomorrow~~...	+	== Setup ==
		+
		+	The easiest way to establish the connection was remotely starting ksysguardd on password-less ssh session issued by the ksysguard viewer itself, as a non-privileged user on the server. Don't know to what extent there could be security issues with this setup in a LAN, but if you're an expert please read on and comment/feedback anything you think is done stupidly.
		+
		+	=== Prerequisites ===
		+
		+	To actually make it run, the user ''ksysguard'' with the login shell ''/usr/bin/ksysguardd'' should exist on the linkstation. Therefore, issue the following commands:
		+	groupadd ksysguard
		+	useradd -s /usr/bin/ksysguardd -g ksysguard ksysguard
		+	mkdir -p /home/ksysguard
		+	To be able to let ksysguard connect in a password-less ssh session as the user 'ksysguard' to the daemon from your desktop, you should generate a public key on your desktop account:
		+	ssh-keygen -t dsa
		+	This will generate a pair of keys in your '''~/.ssh/''' directory.
		+
		+	=== Setup on the server ===
		+
		+	Now you have to append the ''public'' key you just generated from '''~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub''' on your account on the desktop machine, to the '''/home/ksysguard/.ssh/authorized_keys''' file on the server (the linkstation), and then also adjust ownership of the entire ''ksysguard'' home directory:
		+	chown -R ksysguard:ksysguard ksysguard
		+
		+	=== Setup on the client ===
		+
		+	To test the password-less ''ssh session'' as user ''ksysguard'' to your remote server's ''hostname'', just issue from your desktop account:
		+	ssh -l ksysguard hostname
		+	This should immediatly get you into the ''ksysguardd'' prompt without requesting a password, where you can try issuing the commands ''test'', ''monitors'' and ''quit'',which will also log you out since ''ksysguardd'' is the shell for the ''ksysguard'' user.
		+	If that worked, in your dektop client ksysguard application, connect to the linkstation's ''hostname'' using the same custom command as above.
		+
		+	Now your ''ksysguard'' application should be connected to the daemon, all you have to do is define new worksheets on which you drag sensors from the remote machine's tree.

KDE ksysguardd on the Linkstation

KDE's ksysguard can also connect to a ksysguardd (daemon part of ksysguard) running on a remote machine. If we get ksysguardd compiled on (for) the linkstation, we can get this: [[Image:ksysguard_LSPro_processes.png]] and this: [[Image:ksysguard_LSPro_sysload.png]]
