Configure VNC Server with the oracle account (passwords won't be displayed):
[root@collabn1 ~]# su - oracle
[oracle@collabn1 ~]$ vncserver :1
You will require a password to access your desktops.
Password: racattack
Verify: racattack
xauth: creating new authority file /home/oracle/.Xauthority
New 'collabn1.racattack:1 (oracle)' desktop is collabn1.racattack:1
Creating default startup script /home/oracle/.vnc/xstartup
Starting applications specified in /home/oracle/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/oracle/.vnc/collabn1.racattack:1.log
Open a vncviewer on your laptop and fill the ip address of collabn1 followed by :1.
On OS X and Linux you can use X11 forwarding instead of VNC. To do that, use the -X flag with your ssh command as in ssh -X -l oracle 192.168.78.51. If you are using Mountain Lion or later, you may have to install XQuartz first as described at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5293
On OS X vi /etc/sshd_config change X11Forwarding yes
