Hi, I resolved a problem I had with sshd and vnc on linux redhat 7.0, so I explain it here, hoping it will help someone. But first, I report something related with the vncserver command on linux: when there is an application running on the 5900 + display port or 6000 + display port, the script says a vncserver is allready running on that port even if the application using the port isn't a vnc server at all, so maybe the error message should be changed. The ports used by sshd for X forwarding are 6000 + X11DisplayOffset, which is 10 by default. It prevents vnc servers to run with displays corresponding with these numbers. The solution is simple, use another X11DisplayOffset in sshd_config. (I used 100 for example). It is not an very difficult issue, but maybe this could be integrated in the document explaining how to use ssh to tunnel vnc (it is not related to the issue of tunneling vnc with ssh, but this problem of port has good chance to arise with this setup). Only some suggestions.
