Arbitrary Port use - simi solved.

[James Weatherall]

Tony,

It's always been possible to specify (almost) arbitrary ports, even with the
<host>:<port> syntax.  The <port> only has 5900 added to it if it is in the
range 0-99 - it's assumed in that case to be a display number rather than a
port.  <host>::<port> overrides that optimisation and forces <port> to be
treated as a port regardless of its value.

STRCM is a VNC deployment tool, not a replacement for VNC, so you should
simply be able to use it to install VNC on your systems.  Why would a
suggested replacement deployment tool need to be free?  STRCM isn't...

Finally, remember that the viewer doesn't need to be installed on systems.
It can simply be downloaded and run as a stand-alone executable, or the Java
viewer built in to VNC Server can be used.

Cheers,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.

Ok, so I hadn't noticed that the ability to specify arbitrary ports had 
been added.. I know in the old
days it was just an offset.

Sorry about that all..

Now, my problem comes in that I want to use STRCM to manage the 
install/uninstall and it still only
supports port offsets.

This is to be used by HD people for remote support, thus the reason I 
wanted to use the 'easy installer'
that STRCM presents Unless someone else knows of something as easy to 
use.. (and free). And no
i cant go out and pre-install the client on all our machines due to 
objections from our security manager.
-- that would be far to easy.. :(
