SynergyKM Experience

So I have yet to find a good article on how to properly setup SynergyKM and it took me a while to figure out a solution for what I need. I should make some more posts about how to do each step (hopefully with screenshots) or maybe a better overall howto.

What I have:
1) WindowsXP PC w/ 17" monitor
2) 20" iMac with secondary 20" monitor
3) 1 - 5 port switch

What I need:
1) Secure Keyboard Mouse connection from the Mac to the PC (devices on the Mac)
2) To still allow others to remote into PC (rare but necessary)

How I set it up:
1) Install Cygwin w/ssh on the Windows Machine
2) Install Synergy on both Machines
- install the client service then go into the service management console and set the "Synergy Client" service to "Manual" startup mode
3) Setup the Mac as the server
4) Setup the PC as the client
5) Create RSA/DSA ssh keys
6) Use below script to create a reverse tunnel from the mac so that PC's localhost:24800 will seamlessly route though the ssh connection created from the mac.

Script: (will update to have a start / stop mechanism *tunnel only*)
#!/bin/sh
ssh -fnNT -R 24800:SYNERGY_SERVER_IP:24800 REMOTE_CLIENT_IP
ssh REMOTE_CLIENT_IP "net start \"Synergy Client\""

Software Used:
Synergy2
Cygwin
