hey... couple of quick questions... as i was going through past msgs.. and the VNC docs... couldn't find a suitable answer...
a vnc client app doesn't log the user into the machine. you apparently have to have a copy of the vncserver running on the server machine... is it possible to have multiple users log onto a machine, each with their own login/user environment. if so, how is it done? pointers would be appreciated. here's why i ask. i currently have a vncserver running on my box... i set it up running through putty. however, if another user were to also point their vnc client to my box, and use the same display id... wouldn't they also see what i'm displaying...??? unless i shut the vncserver down/logged off the box when i was done.... basically.. i'm trying to determine the best/correct way to fire up the vncserver such that each user has their on copy/own display environment... is it perhaps best to require each person to 1st establish a secure connection via ssh... and then port forward the vnc client through the ssh connection.... if this is the case, how do i stop someone from pointing a vncclient and connecting to a vaild vnc display on the server machine. i can't simply block the vnc port coming into the vnc server box.. or can i....?? i'm using linux RH 8.0 as the vnc server.... if you can simply block access to the given port, how would you do it....??? thanks... -bruce _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
