I have done it with no real difficulty.  I'd check that you can ssh into
the machine as normal, i.e. command line first just to make sure you can
get in.

Then just:

	ssh 192.168.1.2 kmail

assuming you have an account on the other machine with the same
username.  It should prompt you for the password.

Cheers

Steve
