Please tell me if this has been discussed previously or repaired in later versions of VNC. I think I'm running Xvnc 3.3.1 (installed Jan 4, 2000), but it doesn't look like I can get Xvnc to give me a version number. I'm running Solaris 2.6 on two machines and the problem occurs on both machines. If I run nmap on another machine as follows: nmap -p 6001 host.machine then the VNC session at host.machine:1 (5801/5901; 6001 is the X port) is killed immediately, even if vncviewer is up and running. I suddenly cannot get any response. If I kill the vncviewer, I cannot restart it. I can kill the Xvnc process and restart it. This is a very serious problem because it means that a port scan will kill my VNC session. This has happened to me more than once, but I didn't realize it until I scanned myself. It means that anyone in the world can block my use of VNC. If there is some way I can protect myself, please let me know. Thanks very much. Sincerely, Mike Michael B.
