As far as AT&T integrating the Tight encoding, I doubt that will happen. They seem to have come to the conclusion that hextile achieves a sort of optimum for CPU usage versus level of compression. Of course, a brief comment from someone at AT&T would be much preferrable to my musings. Then there is the whole RFB 4.0 and 5.0 work that is going on. I'm beginning to wonder if we will ever see source code or documentation on that work.

Re: TVNC Pro Observations
Tony, Thanks for the feedback. NT domain authentication and the TridiaVNC Pro Manager user interface are two very important components of the product. However, we feel that the real utility of the product is the combination of those features with built-in, preconfigured encryption. And yes, file transfer using the same authenticated, encrypted connection is coming. So, opening a pin-hole through your firewall to the encrypted and authenticated TridiaVNC Pro host/server running on a PC behind the firewall is not such a security problem as with raw VNC. You have encryption to keep the session private and full NT domain authentication to prevent unauthorized access. As far as the price goes, medium to large installations will pay less per seat.

There are two issues: 1- Can it work? 2- Is it legal? I do not know whether WinXp supports terminal server the way that Win2k does. However, I have seen posts here indicating that it is possible to have VNC access to Win2k terminal server virtual desktops (ie. one desktop per client). So, Win2k can provide this even if Xp does not. I think the trick is to use WinVNC.exe as an application that launches when the user logs in. Running it as a service will only provide access to the same desktop for all connections. Another approach would be to run multiple WinXp sessions as guest OSes using VMware. Then your host OS could be Linux or WinXX. I have no idea how efficient that would be. Did you see the post about Xp's EULA and VNC? http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/archives/2001-10/0180.html It would appear that an additional Xp license is required for any remote system that uses VNC to access another Xp system. However, I'm not a lawyer and do not offer legal advice, so read the EULA yourself. Better yet, have your lawyer read the EULA, let Microsoft know that this is holding up your purchase AND ask Microsoft to reduce the price by the amount of your legal fees. While all of that is underway, see how far you can get with RedHat and StarOffice using software that does not limit your ability to innovate on your own hardware.

Re: VNC system resources useage on WIN2K
Rick, As mentioned by others, disabling polling can reduce CPU usage on the server (host) system significantly. That is certainly the first thing to check. However, CPU time is also used to encode the updates. For fast networks, like 100MB/s, hextile has a low CPU utilization profile, but the raw encoding uses even less CPU time. Of course, it places higher demands on the network card and uses much more raw bandwidth. You can select the desired encoding in the vncviewer options dialog before connecting. In your environment, I would avoid zlib, zlibhex and tight, because they use more CPU time to generate less network traffic. Finally, WinVNC.exe must copy screen data from the video RAM back into main memory to detect changes. The speed of this operation probably depends on the video card and the video driver. Are these up-to-date?

This is a matter of opinion of course, but I think you will make more progress in the area of CPU utilization by disabling polling and using raw or hextile that with switching VNC versions. > Also, for TightVNC is > there a way of using command switches to turn off CopyRect encoding and make > Display-View Only the default? It seems those have to be set each time. I think all versions of vncviewer.exe accept the "/viewonly" command line switch. Also, if you save the connection settings to a configuration file, you can use "/config file" to load those when starting the viewer. The latest source code for vncviewer.exe from www.developvnc.org supports a command line switch "/disableCopyRect".

While the Java SOCKS server will run on Win9x and demand a user name and password before allowing outbound connections, it provides no end-to-end security.

The original developers never realised > that future extensions might go beyond simple graphics encodings. While that is certainly one possible explanation, there is actually a performance benefit to flushing partial screen updates to the network before the entire update has been processed. It causes the server CPU, network connection and viewer CPU to work in parallel, which helps lower the total response time. This precludes putting the size of the entire message in the message header. Of course, this can also be achieved by limiting the maximum size of the update region. However, it can be problematic to guess what size screen update will lead to a good buffer's worth of network traffic. In addition, it is even harder to guess what size screen update will use an appropriate amount of CPU time on the host before it makes sense to get the network subsystem and viewer CPU started. I'd prefer to see the message length included as well. However, I'm not quite ready to believe that the original designers completely ignored the concept of a packet length. -- Brian TridiaVNC Pro: finally, affordable remote control. http://www.TridiaVNCPro.com/ - To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html -

If the Tridia WinVNC server is crashing on Win2k systems, we would certainly like to be able to reproduce this behavior in our Q/A lab. Could you provide a more detailed description of the problem? 1- What is the exact text of the error message? 2- When does the "crash" occur? When a viewer connects? When a viewer disconnects?

By setting AuthHosts to "?", you can cause an accept dialog to appear for all incoming connections. Supportal members can access the 1.3.2 binaries immediately from www.tridiavnc.com. In addition, the source code is available on www.developvnc.org. We are also in the process of adding an optional beep on connection and disconnection, as well as an option to accept a connection when the accept dialog times out. One problem with implementing an accept dialog on the Unix platforms is that there is no one to accept the first connection. I suppose, one could enable the normal VNC port when the "inetd" option is used and then only require the accept dialog for connections on the regular port. Another option would be to only require the accept dialog for the second and subsequent connections. It is not immediately clear to me how to handle the accept dialog in the Unix implementations. If a regular XFree86 server had VNC support grafted onto it, then an accept dialog for new connections would make more sense. Comments anyone?

In this way, the connection is established *outbound* at the customer's site and will be much more likely to succeed in at NAT and/or firewall situation. Of course, the listening viewer would have to be listening directly on the Internet at your site. However, the security issues are then under your control and not at the whim of the security folks at your customer site. In the worst case, you could probably modify the VNC server you are using to use the HTTP CONNECT command to proxy across the local firewall if necessary. Someone at workspot.net has already done this with the viewer that they use. You likely need the same done to your server. If this should be necessary and you do not want to make the code changes yourself, my employer, Tridia Corp. provides custom development services relating to VNC technologies (see my signature).

As I understand it, this is a difficult issue. Yes, the accept dialog *should* appear on top of other windows in order to interrupt the current user, if any. However, the flag for this in the Win32 API also forces a change in focus when the dialog is displayed. This means that the user could accidentally accept a connection if the dialog appears while the user happens to be typing the proper keystrokes into a supposedly different application. In TridiaVNC, we are using the same approach as Jeremy Peaks, which is to have the dialog appear on top and take focus. There are two mitigating factors. First, there is an audible beep, indicating that the dialog is being displayed. Second, we have changed the default button to be the reject button. The idea is that it is better to accidentally reject a connection than to accidentally accept one. I would like to know what others think about this issue. Is there a way to force the dialog to the top of the stacking order without changing the focus? Would it be possible to artificially remove all of the keystrokes on the event queue just before the dialog is displayed? Would that help? -- Brian TridiaVNC, the cross-platform, open source, remote control solution. http://www.TridiaVNC.com/ and http://www.developVNC.org/ Java VNC Server Demo: http://www.developVNC.org/logged-in/jVNC-info.html - To unsubscribe, send a message with the line: unsubscribe vnc-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html -

The default will be to display the icon, of course. I have not used the AllowProperties or AllowShutdown settings recently, but they are configured and work as described in the documentation: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\AllowProperties DWORD = 0 (disable user access to the properties dialog) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\AllowShutdown DWORD = 0 (disable user ability to stop WinVNC server) As I understand it, local per user settings, if present, can override these. So for user "smith": HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\smith\AllowProperties DWORD = 0 (disable user access to the properties dialog) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\smith\AllowShutdown DWORD = 0 (disable user ability to stop WinVNC server) However, as long as the users are prevented from accessing the properties dialog from the beginning, these user specific entries should not exist. -- Brian TridiaVNC, the cross-platform, open source, remote control solution. http://www.TridiaVNC.com/ and http://www.developVNC.org/ Java VNC Server Demo: http://www.developVNC.org/logged-in/jVNC-info.html - To unsubscribe, send a message with the line: unsubscribe vnc-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html -

[ANNOUNCE] TridiaVNC pre-release 1.3.3 now available (DisableTrayIcon and QueryAccept)
Tridia is proud to announce the availability of TridiaVNC 1.3.3. Links for obtaining the source and binaries follow the list of updates and enhancements. ** *** THE FOLLOWING NOTES ARE FOR: * * TridiaVNC Version 1.3.3 ** [WIN32] 7-Dec-2000: Windows Updates --- - Added registry flag to cleanly disable the tray icon on all platforms and in all modes without affecting other settings. The default is "0" and indicates that the tray icon should not be disabled. A value of "1" will suppress the tray icon for all users. HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\DisableTrayIcon DWORD "0" HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\DisableTrayIcon DWORD "1" - Added "BeepConnect" and "BeepDisconnect" registry flags to sound the default system beep upon a successful VNC connection and/or disconnection. HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\BeepConnect DWORD "0" HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\BeepDisconnectDWORD "0" HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\\BeepConnectDWORD "1" HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\\BeepDisconnect DWORD "1" - Accept dialog appears only after the remote user has provided the necessary password. - Added "QueryAccept" registry flag to allow the accept dialog to default to accepting connections after the timeout expires with no user input. HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\QueryAccept DWORD "0" HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\\QueryAcceptDWORD "1" The default is to reject connections when the accept dialog times out, which is the same as a setting of "0". A setting of "1" will allow the incoming connection after the timeout expires. The local user can still reject the connection before the timeout. - Fixed authentication dialog bug where the cancel button failed to exit the program. Also limited the authentication retries to three attempts, after which the viewer exits. - Upgraded installers to InstallAnywhere 3.5 Enterprise. This provides enhanced support for WinNT 5.0 (aka.

Is this even possible?? This is precisely what the "inetd" daemon does on Unix systems. Both the AT&T and the Tridia Unix based VNC distributions of Xvnc support a command line option called "-inetd" which is used in conjunction with inetd. By configuring inetd (via /etc/inetd.conf usually) to start Xvnc when a connection to a known port (like 5900) occurs, you can dynamically create a new Xvnc desktop for every client. The "-inetd" command line option causes the entire VNC/RFB protocol to be handled via stdin/stdout *and* prevents the new Xvnc desktop from accepting VNC connections as usual. Therefore, the "-inetd" option prevents a user from disconnecting from a desktop and later reconnecting to that desktop with all of the previous applications in the same state as before. > > At 23:46 12/01/01 -0800, you wrote: > >you will have to add vnc to your inetd config stuff then whenever someone > >connects it will spawn a new vnc, haven't tried it yet. > > > >for now why not run multiple Xvnc each with a different passwd and tell > >the users which one is for them.

It is based on the fact that the tray icon is only displayed if the current user is known. The entry deleted normally runs the "servicehelper", which informs the WinVNC as to the name of the currently logged in user. Another side-effect of disabling the service helper is that only the default user password will work. Normally, WinVNC can support a different password depending on which user is logged in. TridiaVNC 1.3.3 and later support a registry setting, DisableTrayIcon, which supresses the tray icon without disabling the service helper. In addition, it works on Win95/98/ME as well as when the WinVNC server is running as an application on WinNT. > > - Puvodnm zprava - > Od: "Daniel Stilts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Komu: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Odeslano: 19. ledna 2001 17:55 > Predmet: VNC Systray Icon > > > Does anyone by chance happen to know of a registry hack or something > > that would allow me to remove the VNC system tray icon from all my users > > machines? > > Thanks, > > Dan -- Brian TridiaVNC, the cross-platform, open source, remote control solution. http://www.TridiaVNC.com/ and http://www.developVNC.org/ Java VNC Server Demo: http://www.developVNC.org/logged-in/jVNC-info.html - To unsubscribe, send a message with the line: unsubscribe vnc-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html -
Even more: RE: VNC Newsgroup
Mark, Tim and others, Having a newsgroup certainly has it's advantages. However, I'm concerned about spammers who automatically harvest email addresses from public newsgroups. I know that the AT&T email list as well as our email lists at Tridia prevent someone from downloading a list of participants directly. It would be possible for someone to scan the archived posts HTML pages, but I'm not sure that is common practice among the spammers and they would need to know where to direct the search anyway. So, I would request that the email list *not* be somehow automatically combined with the newsgroup. If news/nntp access is needed and should be linked to the email list, then I would prefer to have that news group hosted on a private system *without* forwarding to the rest of Usenet. BTW, I think the signal to noise ratio on the mailing lists has been better in general than most newsgroups. I'm not sure why that is the case. Maybe the slightly more difficult registration process wards off some less motivated posters? I would hate to see the signal to noise ratio change for the worse.

[ANN] TridiaVNC 1.4.0 publicly available
Tridia is proud to announce the public availability of TridiaVNC release 1.4.0. This version contains all of the enhancements added to the TridiaVNC product during 4Q 2000. You may obtain this release from: http://www.tridiavnc.com/ -> Free Download Following are the release notes documenting the updates contained in this version since the last public release (1.2.2): ** *** THE FOLLOWING NOTES ARE FOR: * * TridiaVNC Version 1.4.0 ** [WIN32] 16-Jan-2000: Windows Updates --- - TridiaVNC 1.4.0 certified on Win32 platforms. [LINUX INTEL, AIX, HPUX, SOLARIS] 16-Jan-2000: Unix Updates --- - TridiaVNC 1.4.0 certified on Unix platforms. ** *** THE FOLLOWING NOTES ARE FOR: * * TridiaVNC Version 1.3.3 ** [WIN32] 7-Dec-2000: Windows Updates --- - Added registry flag to cleanly disable the tray icon on all platforms and in all modes without affecting other settings. The default is "0" and indicates that the tray icon should not be disabled. A value of "1" will suppress the tray icon for all users. HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\DisableTrayIcon DWORD "0" HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\DisableTrayIcon DWORD "1" - Added "BeepConnect" and "BeepDisconnect" registry flags to sound the default system beep upon a successful VNC connection and/or disconnection. HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\BeepConnect DWORD "0" HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\BeepDisconnectDWORD "0" HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\\BeepConnectDWORD "1" HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\\BeepDisconnect DWORD "1" - Accept dialog appears only after the remote user has provided the necessary password. - Added "QueryAccept" registry flag to allow the accept dialog to default to accepting connections after the time-out expires with no user input. HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\QueryAccept DWORD "0" HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\\QueryAcceptDWORD "1" The default is to reject connections when the accept dialog times out, which is the same as a setting of "0". A setting of "1" will allow the incoming connection after the time-out expires. The local user can still reject the connection before the timeout. - Fixed authentication dialog bug where the cancel button failed to exit the program. Also limited the authentication retries to three attempts, after which the viewer exits. - Upgraded installers to InstallAnywhere 3.5 Enterprise. This provides enhanced support for WinNT 5.0 (aka. Win2000) and WinME. [LINUX INTEL, AIX, HPUX, SOLARIS] 7-Dec-2000: Unix Updates --- - Upgraded installers to InstallAnywhere 3.5 Enterprise. ** *** THE FOLLOWING NOTES ARE FOR: * * TridiaVNC Version 1.3.2 ** [LINUX INTEL, AIX, HPUX, SOLARIS] 15-Nov-2000: Unix Updates --- - Added Tim Waugh's "-interface ifaddr" command line option to the Xvnc server to specify the interface on which the server should listen for RFB connections. Note that X connections are still accepted from all interfaces. - Added TrueType font support to the Xvnc server from the xfsft project. Providing a new tool called "mkfontdir" to help build font directories containing TrueType font files. Added fonts.scale and encodings files to distribution to aid in the preparation of font directories. - Integrated all AT&T 3.3.3r2 updates. Provides "vncconnect" tool to send a display from the unix server. - Fixed core dump in hextile and zlibhex on RISC systems when a 32 bit (or 16 bit) connection is requested. ** *** THE FOLLOWING NOTES ARE FOR: * * TridiaVNC Version 1.3.1 ** [WIN32] 26-Oct-2000: Windows Updates --- - Added desktop optimizations upon initial VNC connection from Jeremy Peaks with many updates. The following registry entries turn on the optimizations: HKLM\SOFTWARE\O

I'd appreciate any pointers or > suggestions. The TridiaVNC source is, shall we say, in flux. We are in the process of integrating the very latest tight encoding updates from Constantin. Unfortunately, we were not able to make this happen in a single day. I believe the code from yesterday is now compiling correctly on Solaris, AIX and Linux. The HP/UX 10.20 compiler/linker is/are still causing problems. Or should I say, they are still training me on their proper usage. We hope to have the source in a stable state in the next day or two. Then the work will move to the Win32 platform. Once the new tight updates and a few others are applied, we will announce the 1.5.0 pre-release. The fastest access to a stable source tree would be to use the CVS server to download the most recently tagged release: cvs checkout -r TridiaVNC_V_1_4_0 unix (on Solaris/AIX/Linux/HPUX anyway) After setting up the CVS client, this will download a stable source tree. Directions for using the CVS server can be found at: http://www.developvnc.org/logged-in/access-cvs.html In this way you can get any of a wide range of release versions: TridiaVNC_V_1_4_0 TridiaVNC_V_1_3_3 TridiaVNC_V_1_3_2 TridiaVNC_V_1_3_1 TridiaVNC_V_1_3_0 TridiaVNC_V_1_2_2 TridiaVNC_V_1_2_1 TridiaVNC_V_1_2_0 One work-around would be to wait a couple of days and download something more stable. However, this will be closer to the 1.5.0 release than the certified 1.4.0 source tree. The fix would be for us to have full release snapshots as well as just the latest tree available for download. I'll run this up the pole and see if I can get it added to the release process. If you just want binaries for Solaris 2.6 (SunOS 5.6), you can also purchase or download release 1.4.0 Solaris binaries from the TridiaVNC web site: http://www.TridiaVNC.com/ I hope this helps you go forward with TridiaVNC.

The only way for the VNC server to guarantee that the viewer and server have the same NumLock and CapsLock settings is to disable both of them when a VNC session/connection starts. Actually, that is not quite right either. This is the only way to make sure the viewing (remote) user has a consistent view of the server system. If the NumLock and CapsLock settings on the server are not disabled, the viewing/remote user may experience reverse or inconsistent settings from those shown on their own keyboard. This behavior is great for remote administration and remote access. However, for remote support, it would be very nice to be able to disable this for the server/host user's benefit. As far as I know, this option is not available in the currently available software. > > Thanks in advance, > Ben Murphy, > Systems Engineer, > Information Services Group, > Ricegrowers' Co-operative Limited > "Any comments or statements made are not necessarily those of Ricegrowers' > Co-operative Limited, its subsidiaries and affiliates." -- Brian TridiaVNC, the cross-platform, open source, remote control solution. http://www.TridiaVNC.com/ and http://www.developVNC.org/ Java VNC Server Demo: http://www.developVNC.org/logged-in/jVNC-info.html - To unsubscribe, send a message with the line: unsubscribe vnc-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html -

DoubleVision for Linux will allow the remote control of *any* tty, including Linux consoles and psuedo-ttys, from any other tty on the same machine for most popular *nix platforms, including Linux: http://www.tridia.com/ Since DoubleVision connects two ttys together, the client/viewer is usually a terminal emulator or an actual physical terminal.

Someone must have compiled it because there is a running demo at: http://www.developVNC.org/logged-in/jVNC-info.html BTW, the jVNC server was developed and integrated for a customer by Tridia staff as part of a consulting project. However, the delivered software was extremely specialized for the customer's environment.

The source works exactly as well as the demo shows. There are some areas in need of improvement. Implementing a full AWT and Swing replacement is a complex task. In fact, the RFB protocol as it currently stands will not allow a full replacement for the AWT.
