Hi there,
I am just a little stumped here so am hoping that someone will be able to
point me in the right direction.
I sit outside of my firewall on a pc and connect through the firewall to my
Solaris servers with vnc without a single hitch ... until now .......
I have just loaded one of my servers with Solaris 8 and try as I may I
cannot connect to either of the vnc ports on the server from my pc. I know
that the vnc server is running as it is supposed to be because I can telnet
to port 5801 from the server .....
I also know that it is not a firewall problem because the firewall logs
show the connections and there are no dropped or rejected packets.
Snooping the interface on the server I see the incoming packets from my PC
but there are NO outgoing packets ........ the logs on my firewall confirm
the same!
The vnc log file does NOT log the connection attempts from my PC but does
log the connection attempts I make from the server itself with telnet.
Now I know that SUN have made some serious attempts to increase the network
security within Solaris 8 but cannot imagine where this particular problem
is coming from ........
OH .... I have also created a seperate user on this server from which I run
the vncserver as I thought it may have somthing to do with a root user
security issue but no luck there either .....
ANY IDEAS ??????
Many thanx
Grant
