Hi all,


a simple question: Is there a way under linux, as a user (i.e. without 
superuser privileges) to find out how many hard drives are physically 
connected on the computer? I am not interested in the info given by 
/etc/fstab or by the df command, since both of them are showing mounted 
disks, which is not what I want...

	Thanks in advance,
	Ivan

I've never run a web server but I do use ssh a lot.


Could you use putty from Windows to run ssh?  Can it forward X somehow
to Windows (never used a recent windows)?


If I was doing this remotely from a unix/linux box, I'd run ssh -X and
run a web browser on the local (webcam) box and have it display on my
remote box.  I don't know if windows can do this.


This would permit the remote 'pull' with full security.


As for having the webcam app mail you notice of motion, it could just
email you the picture too.
