Installed VNC on Windows NT Client. Whenever I tried to connect to PC every
time I got this error it says the password for VNC is not set. Any idea why
is it happening?

Subject: keyboard mapping: UNIX viewer->NT-server
Dear VNCers,
I cannot map some of my UNIX keys to my NT-VNC server. Searching the
archives gave me xmodmap, but that would only solve the UNIX-server side I
guess.
My UNIX and NT keyboards look alike, but from my UNIX keyboard viewing NT
only the keypad arrows work and
only the not-keypad PgUp/Pgdown work.
I was quite surprised to find nothing in the FAQ.
Thanks
Christian

Subject: Problem with two Macintoshes
I have two Macs, a Duo 230 on which I installed the VNCBeta368k Viewer,
and a G3 on which I installed both the Viewer and the Server from
VNCBeta3PPC.
The Duo can connect to the G3 just fine, and moving the cursor on the
Duo moves the G3's cursor, and can activate menus and windows and all
that just fine.
My problem is that I cannot see the G3 desktop from the Duo. I can
control the G3 from the Duo only by looking at the G3's screen. The
VNC window on the Duo is all black, the cursor is a little white square
with a dot in it, and moving the mouse cursor on the G3 doesn't affect
the cursor position on the Duo.
This isn't what I expected at all. Any idea what I might have done wrong?

Sounds like you have a color depth problem. Try changing the G3's screen
size and color depth to match that of the Duo (try 640x480 at 256 colors to
start).

I'm also somewhat curious... Why install and uninstall it all the time?
It can be run as a normal application. Then when you're done, you just
terminate it.

Subject: Re: aix unable to open display
What does your Xauth file look like? I'm willing to bet the problem is in
there. In my vncserver script, I have the following lines for Xauth:
system("xauth -f $xauthorityFile add $host:$displayNumber . $cookie");
system("xauth -f $xauthorityFile add $host:$displayNumber\.0 . $cookie");
system("xauth -f $xauthorityFile add $my_fqdn:$displayNumber . $cookie");
system("xauth -f $xauthorityFile add $host/unix:$displayNumber . $cookie");
$host = "myhost";
$my_fqdn = "myhost.mydomain";
Does this help?

Subject: Re: Can Not Delete VNC files
The hooks installed by VNC are removed definitively on logout, or when
Ctrl-Alt-Del. You *should* find you can remove VNC cleanly if you press
Ctrl-Alt-Del after quitting it, before Uninstalling. Also, the uninstall
procedure should remove the hooks file when the machine is next rebooted if
it is otherwise in use.

Anna,
You can use a wrapper.
make vnc listen on 127.0.0.1 and the wrapper will listen on the interface
and forward to 127.0.0.1 for any ip you specify in the wrapper config file.
I know this feature is built into the winvnc but I don't believe there is
any equiv for Xvnc due to Unix flexibility.

why is that? i cant write a simple sub to put in the beginning of the
vcnserver script .. something like
check how many sessions r open
if the number is more than 'n'
print sorry and exit

Do you wish to stop your technically savvy users, or just the average
person who will just run vncserver and accept whatever it gives?
Savvy users can go around your limit by running Xvnc directly, and stopping
that would require patching Xvnc, which is unpleasant.
Average users can be limited, as you say, by modifying the vncserver
script. Open the vncserver script and search for "sub GetDisplayNumber"
(without the quotes). You should see a line that says:
foreach $n (1..99) {
If you change that to:
foreach $n (1..25) {
then your average users will be limited to no more than 25 servers total
(this is a system limit, not a user limit). Advanced users can still
directly specify a higher display number to vncserver (which you might be
able to filter in "sub CheckDisplayNumber") or directly to Xvnc (which
requires a source patch and rebuild)
Hope that helps,
Mac

Subject: NT4 shared connections
Hi, folks --
Well, this email was going to be about sending Ctrl-Alt-Del to a locked
server to unlock the screen, but that works now. I am quite confused :-)
On to the next question... I'd like to make my sessions shared so that
someone connecting doesn't disconnect whoever is already on, but instead
they both get the screen; this, it seems to me, would be even better than
some sort of message like "this server is in use by <ip.addr.goes.here>"
because it's not uncommon to pop away for a few minutes or, in our group,
to hand over the server for a quickie when we're in the middle of a long
task.
Unfortunately, I don't see how to make the server share connections;
nothing I pass in seems to work. Any pointers or ideas?
TIA & HAND
:-D

Subject: Any more news on screen blanking / encryption support?
Hey all;
As previous threads have discussed, but seemingly not addressed that I can
see. Can anyone tell me the state of screen blanking local (server)
screens? I have read all about hardware specific fixes and ideas using APM
features of new monitors, I figured I would just check to see if there were
any new developments before I started looking into this in great detail.
Also any quick and easy encryption layer support for VNC? The best (easiest
and free too) option that I can see now is Zebedee. Does anyone have
experience with this tool and mind sharing their experiences with me.
Thanks for your help

I suppose I should have included that I *did* read the documentation and
that I played around with regedit. I created a ConnectPriority DWORD at
both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3 and ...\Default and set it
to 1 and restarted the VNC service with no results.
No matter, though; with this slim clue that I was on the right track I
checked the values again (both good) and restarted the service again and
now it works. Dunno why it didn't the first time. I also dunno which of
the two locations is the proper place for the key, but I don't care too
much, either :-)

Why don't you use resource limiting?

Subject: RE: VNC under Windows ME
I had problems with VNC under ME also. For some reason it would work for a
bit, then for some reason the HTTP server that it built in that serves the
java applet stopped working. You can check this by doing a "netstat -na" and
seeing if both port 5800 and 5900 are open. If only 5900 is open then you
are having the same problem. I fixed it in my situation to run by running a
HTTP server (apache) and serving the java applet off of that.
Good luck!
