Well at least that sounds promising. I did see mention of that in some of my google searches but I wondered, If I had to use ssh, why wouldn't I just pull the X session on linux across with ssh alone. And forget about VNC. I think I've heard that can be done....I think I may have even done it sometime way back, but VNC is so easy the other direction it seems it should be just as easy connecting windows vnc client to gentoo vnc server. For some reason the vnc server appears not to have any debug or verbose switches. But not sure even if it did, since it appears the connection is simply rejected, if that would help. I'd like to see some log info as to why the connection is rejected. I have sysklogd setup to report everything (*.* in syslog.conf) to a /var/log/debug file so tailing that while I attempt the connection I'm not seeing any evidence a connection is being rejected or even seen. Seems there should be some way to see what is happening maybe from the windows side but again no log info is being generated. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
