VNC -inetd does not setup an http service. It just allows you to do remote access identical to your console login. Think of it as a graphical telnet session and you will know about what it does and does not do. evan On Wed, 20 Feb 2002 15:12:29 +0100 "Beerse, Corni" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >

RE: Buffer overflow question

2002-02-20 Thread Andrew van der Stock
Buffer overflows are everyone's problem, and not limited to just Microsoft. The problem is that under Windows 2000, VNC runs as LOCALSYSTEM, sort of equivalent to the Unix "root" account, except that LOCALSYSTEM is more privileged than "Administrator" and less useful as it can't directly use SMB n

from what i understand getting the inetd option working enables you to run the vncserver as a daemon/service rather than manually launching it from a shell. it automagically spawns a vncserver process when it is seeing a connection on the specified port. it also lets you vnc into the linux box at

I've recently heard concerns about a buffer overflow that exists in VNC. Maybe this is just a question of not doing my homework but does this really have anything to do with Windows NT/2000 security (assuming Microsoft here)? I just don't see this really being a security problem. Only a programmi
