I meant to turn on Remote Desktop services before I left work on vacation. Is there any way to turn it on remotely? I have SSH Remote Access turned on and I can log in using Terminal, but I'd like to use VNC.

thanks,
kman

Yes, there is..

Download OSXVnc either by curling it or scping up to your machine. CD into the .app directory and you should find an app called vncserver, I think. Do a:

./vncserver &

and it should run. This is detailed in the OSXVnc FAQ IIRC.

/System/Library/CoreServices/Remote Management/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart

That lets you configure Apple Remote Desktop remotely.
