from linux to mac fails

[James Weatherall]

Alex,

If you're trying to connect to a Mac OS X system via Apple's "Remote
Desktop" software then you'll need to use VNC's "Protocol3.3" option, to
force VNC into legacy-only mode.  Apple Remote Desktop isn't compatible with
VNC as such, but does appear to work as a legacy VNC server, for the most
part.
