I know that SSH from the command line is easy enough, but would like to give my students that use OS X a GUI option. Is there a PuTTY equivalent for the Mac? Macos software-recommendation ssh utilities.
Does the gpm have a client on Mac OSX?
- The good news is that Mac OS X (both the server and desktop varieties) include built-in File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Secure Shell (SSH), and Virtual Network Computing (VNC) servers. Thus, we have immediate, “out of the box” remote connectivity to our Mac boxes.
- The setup tool or Intel® Edison Board Configuration Tool is a utility that allows you to quickly. Also, the first step to install the drivers is not included in the setup tool for Linux* and Mac* OS X*. Download the setup tool from the Intel® Edison board downloads page. Set a Password and Enable SSH.

Could the X11 on Mac OSX be help?

I would like to use mouse on Gentoo server, via a terminal environment on Mac.

Yes, I think X11 is the way to go here. Make sure that your Gentoo install will allow remote X sessions (or just go ahead and try it), open X11 on the Mac (from Utilities, or install it from the OS X CD or via http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki ). Then open a standard Terminal session (not the X11 session) and do 'ssh -X username@gentooserver'. Once you have logged in, you should be able to start X-Windows applications from the regular Terminal session and they will start in the OS X X-Windows server.
As I'm usually a SUSE user, I tend to use a lot of 'yast2' this way.
Total shot in the dark, but perhaps piping synergy through an ssh tunnel will help. Know what I'm suggesting here? Need more details?
We need some clarification, Are you connecting to the OS X computer or from it? What is your goal? Do you just want to be able to use a mouse in a terminal environment or do you want to remotely control another computer?
VNC.
You can enable VNC access (built-in to OSX) and then just use a VNC Client on the linux desktop.
All of the answers related to X11 forwarding, VNC, etc are all well and good when connecting to a remote system which has X and/or X programs installed. If you're connecting to a server with NO GUI components the real question of the OP still hasn't been answered.
It's the MAC terminal, not the ssh client, which messes with the mouse-passing to ssh sessions. By starting X11 (from utilities as stated by Johnnie) and xterm, running the native MAC SSH client from xterm instead of mac terminal, nano -m on the remote system can process the mouse clicks. There may be other terminals for MAC which will behave this way without having to start x11, and there may be a setting which I haven't been able to find which allows the MAC terminal to behave this way. This doesn't require X on the remote system, and works for AT LEAST vi(m) and nano.
