Hi,
is this snippet from the documentation correct?
LoopbackOnly
By default, WinVNC servers accept incoming connections on any
network adapter address, since this is the easiest way of coping
with multihomed machines. In some cases, it is preferable to listen
only for connections originating from the local machine and aimed
at the "localhost" adapter - a particular example is the use of VNC
over SSH to provide secure VNC. Setting this registry entry to 1
will cause WinVNC to only accept local connections - this
overrides the AllowLoopback and AuthHosts settings. Setting this
entry to zero causes WinVNC to accept connections on any
adapter and is the default setting.Local machine-specific setting.
from page http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html
I had to install LoopbackOnly *and* AllowLoopback to get
LoopbackOnly connects. Btw., is LoopbackOnly redundant with
the possibility to ause AllowHost with 127.0.0.1?
And a second note:
In my setup I have AllowLoopback as REG_DWORD and
LoopbackOnly as REG_SZ. Not very consistent ...
Ciao
Ulrich.
