On one of my Windows 2000 servers, the password to get into VNC is one
string when not there is noone logged into the server locally, but another
when there is a session active locally. I had changed the password some
time ago, which is effective when there is a session logged in locally, but

This always seems to throw people, perhaps it should be documented better.
IF you are running windows as a service you have two passwords for VNC.
The first is the default password. This in theory would be a password that
everyone that has access to a VNC server would use to connect, as long as n

If I understand correctly your answers, the -inetd argument of Xvnc

find the next available one. I can understand the rationale, since this

It's excellent! I just grabbed a copy for Linux and distributed it over my

Dear Heather,
The browser uses port 80.
VNC wants to use port 5900.
And the browser will not be a proper client for VNC, so
you need to use the VNC client.
So.
You can only do this by making a request to your administrator
