VNCServer configuration

[bruce]

also, if this can't be accomplished with the open source vnc, can it be
handled using the enterprise version... i'm assuming it can, otherwise,
vncserver/client is severley limited...

thanks


hi...

there's still a confusion.

i have a linux box:
i have vncserver running on the box
i want to have multiple users be able to remotely access the
 server using vnc


how can this be accomplished?

normally, you need to know the "port" in use for the vncserver session. if
you have mulitple users, each user won't know the port to use when logging
in.

also, how do you setup vncserver to use the underlying system user/passwd...


thanks

Vnc does not work like this. You will need to run multiple instances of
vnc server, which is X server. This will quickly bring performance of
your host down.
Vnc designed to access one instance of X server remotely it is nothing
like a windows terminal server as far as user environment is concerned.
It is more like XP remote desktop.

With vnc EE you can use unix login facilities so your users will have
same password for vnc as they have for the rest of the system.
What ever you are trying to do is not efficient with vnc but it can be
done by starting multiple vnc servers and giving each user his own.
