2005-05-11 Thread Erik Soderquist
I know this will seem a strange request, especially from a security standpoint, but I need to be able to have a fedora core 3 linux server autostart Xvnc and autoconnect to a listening viewer on boot up. I have a working script for it, but don't know where to put it. suggestions? the script is as

another option, if you really want to hide the vnc icon, is to adjust the autohide of systray icons to "always hide" the vnc icon. out of sight out of mind seems to be the rule... I've found only one exception out of 150 corporate workstations (roughly 3 users each, one per shift). is it the fact

RE: Changing the port number in code

2005-05-23 Thread Erik Soderquist
someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think vnc will assume a 2 digit is display number (offset from 5900) and more than two digit is port number. so while it *should* be myhost.mydomain.com::3559, myhost.mydomain.com:3559 will still connect to port 3559 rather than using 3559 as an offset from 59

as far as I know, a single server can serve one or 10,000 clients without significant effect on CPU load as far as graphics rendering is concerned. however, (again this is as far as I know) vnc does not support multicast, so every viewer will get it's own stream, making bandwidth your limiting fact

the RealVNC distribution will not allow you to hide the icon at all. period, end of discussion. I believe that you can configure RealVNC to disallow shutting down the server, or disallow the icon's context menu all together, as I know this has come up before (*many* times) in previous discussions.
