Ssh

I have SSH set up on another computer (with help of the SSH wiki entry) and I have a few questions.

How does one check how many users are connected and who they are? How do I log them off?

How can I run programs from this host computer on a connected computer and, vice versa, from the connected computer on the host computer?  For example, I tried running firefox from the connected computer but it returned saying I did not specify a display, how do I do that?

Thanks.

Re: Ssh

Thanks.

However, that does not answer how I log them off. How can one go about doing that?

Also, as I had said, I already looked at that wiki page and it does not provide answer to those questions.  I have already done what it says and I still have the same problem with the example I gave.

And, by the way, I did Google my questions before I posted so do not take that for granted....
