Hi Kurt!
I asked this list that very same thing, but never got a satisfactory answer
for my FreeBSD box. Later, I decided that having vnc start automatically
was not worth the security risk. After all, vnc is not secure at all
besides its initial authorization.
Instead, I find it much better to use ssh by doing this:
C:\>ssh -C -L 5901:kelly.apc.net:5901 kelly.apc.net
And then a:
bash-2.04$ vncserver :1 -geometry 800x600, then connect to localhost.
But I can see advantages too of your way, so please tell use your solution
if you find it ok?
Thanks,
Karen
PS: a great, free ssh client/server for windows nt/2k can be found here:
