Subject: RE : WinVNC and CTRL+ALT+DEL can't view active remote process ?

If i use the ctrl+alt+del on the vncviewer client the effect is not on the
remote vnc server but on the local pc with vncviewer and if the remote user
use the ctrl+alt+del the windows appear on his screen but not on the pc who
view his screen with vncviewer so it's a bug because during that the viewer
lost the remote cursor and only the local cursor is moving.

So now i have to tried the rkit tools to do that, i think it is a good idea

Thanks,

Let me ask another question since you say that.


Is the system running Windows 95/98/Me?

If yes, you simply can't use Ctl-Alt-Del - it halts all system processes on
that architecture.

The alternative is to use some "alternate" tools as you thought.

One possibility if youhave access to the WIn98 Resource Kit from Microsoft
is to use "tlist" and "kill".  You can also get similar tools (with similar
names) in Unix clone tools available for Windows.  The first one which comes
to mind is "Cygwin" which is now available from Red Hat
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/

That is probably overkill for what you need. look for Win9x "clones" of the
following and you will find what you need I think:

tlist
ps
pslist
kill

Subject: RE: Problems connecting through internet

Thank you for your assistance.

We are using the same Internet provider for both machines and verified with
the ISP that they are not blocking any ports. Since we can reverse the setup
(ie have the client become the server and the server become the client) this
suggests that this is not an issue with the ISP. There is no firewall or
security software running on the server machine and no other programs are
trying to claim port 5900. A netstat -a reveals that port 5900 is unused
before winvnc is running and that it is open and listening after winvnc is
launched.

So I can4t telnet to that port and I cannot figure out why. Any help or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated! In the meanwhile, I will install a
new telnet client and hopefully it will give me a more informative error
message.

Subject: RE: Error while waiting for server message

Do you have a static IP address through the cable company?  Since the cable
modems have the external NAT IP set via DHCP by the ISP you may be seeing
your
IP address changed.  So you are able to connect, but in between a request by
the viewer and a response from the server the IP address is changing and you
cannot receive the server response.  From what I understand there is a very
small pool of addresses available for a specific user group, so eventually
your original address will be re-leased to you...hence you are able to
re-connect to the server after a period of time.  How long do you have to
wait
before you are able to re-connect to the remote PCs?

Just a thought.  I have been trying to document how frequently my ISP
changes
my cable modem's address (using AT scheduled IPCONFIG commands piped to a
text
document) and it seems to be pretty infrequent.  But who knows...yours may
have a much more brief lease period.

Good luck!

This is a Windows problem.  If you are using an NT kernel (NT 3.5, 4,
Win2000, or WinXP), you just need to make sure you are running WinVNC as a
service.

If you are using a personal OS (Win 95, 98, 98SE, ME), you are out of luck.
CTRL+ALT+DEL stops ALL processes, and you cannot remote control the machine.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Does anyone has a solution to view active process on remote server winvnc ?
When the remote user use ctrl+alt+del key the active process are displayed
on the remote pc but not on the winvnc viewer pc.
So have you a solution to do this even with anther way or another windows

There are some confusions which aren't that bad, but which should, IMHO be
avoided

In the section about gdmconfig
  3)
  b) If running Gnome as your desktop, ...

It doesn't matter whether your desktop is gnome, kde, icewm or whatever.
What
matters is whether you use xdm, kdm or gdm as display manager. Thus this
should
be changed in "If running gdm as your display manager, ...".
(nb: in fact in the redhat, in the basic configuration the display manager
and
the desktop are the same, as they are both set up by /etc/sysconfig/desktop
or
something like that).

- - some settings seems to be valid for all the configurations, but it isn't
true. For example,

2) edit 'xdm-config' and comment out the line '! DisplayManager.requestPort:
0'
(should be the last line)

hasn't any impact on the gdm settings. I think it should be made more clear.
I
put here a summary of what is needed for the display managers I know:

xdm: 2) and 4)

2) edit 'xdm-config' and comment out the line '! DisplayManager.requestPort:
0'
(should be the last line)
                     a) RedHat 6.2, 7.1, 7.2 -
'/etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config'

4) edit Xaccess and uncomment the line '*        #any host can get a login
window'
                             a) RedHat 6.2, 7.1, 7.2 -'
/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess'

gdm: 3) b)

I have never used kdm, but I have heard on another mailing list that for old
versions of kdm, the config files used are the same than for xdm (point 2)
and
4)) and that for new kdm there is a kdmrc file, as stated in 3) a).


Changing config for applications you don't use isn't such a big deal, but I
think it may confuse things.


Last, I think it should be fine if, in addition to explaining how to set up
gdm
to accept xdmcp with gdmconfig, there was also a explaination on how to do
it
manualy, like

"edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and in the [xdmcp] section, put "Enable=true"
and
"Port=177""



It is only suggestions, now, do what you want !

Very puzzling.  Perhaps you could ask your ISP to try the telnet test to
both sides from within their network.  If you are just taking their word
that they are not blocking anything, it might still be a good idea to
verify for yourself from a third location.  If you don't have a shell
account somewhere that you can use, feel free to send me the IP
addresses by private email and I'd be happy to test from here.  Have you
tried any other services (such as a web server)?  Are you able to ping
in both directions?  Are you using IP addresses or DNS names?  If DNS,
have you verified name service from both sides?

Sorry for the newbie questions, but I am having trouble with your VNC setup

http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp#vncserver.inetd

I am running Red Hat 7.2, gdm

Step 6:
6) Update inetd configuration for the services to enable (based on

                                a) inetd - append contents of
'vncserver.inetd' to '/etc/inetd.conf'
                                b) xinetd - copy 'vncserver.xinetd' to
'/etc/xinetd.d' (RH 7.2 (not available in my RH6.2)
and
The file below is vncserver.inetd. This should be added to the end of
/etc/inetd.conf. Please note the path. In this
                      document the path is /usr/local/bin/Xvnc. This will
need to be modified based on your own system.
##########

- - Do I need to do both (a) and (b) ?  I have no /etc/inetd.conf file to
append anything to...

Step  "Our last file is for Redhat 7.2"  (almost missed this one)

##########
This should be copied to the end of /etc/xinet.d. Again, modify the paths
to suit your
                      system. This is the vncserver.xinetd.

/etc/xinet.d is a directory, not a file.  Do I place this as a file
/etc/xinet.d/vncserver.xinetd ?

Right.  RH 7.2 uses xinetd so you do "b" and then restart the
xinetd service (/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart).  It writes
to /var/log/messages so you should be able to see if it

I installed it as "vnc" in that directory.

If you are running gdm, then you will have to use gdmconfig
to turn on port 177.  I think the instructions have been updated
to reflect this.

Joel or Jeff,

Can you clarify if this works, as the way it currently stands, the
instructions are not that clear. Not having RH7.2, I wouldn't know. The way
I understood from the instructions is that xinet.d is a file, and that
vncserver.xinetd was just the sample text to put into that file. I will then
make the instructions a bit clearer.

Dave.

No, no, it is a directory. All the files in that directory are sourced by
xinetd.

vncserver.xinetd should be considered as a file.

/etc/xinet.d is a directory which contains one file per service.
I put your file named vncserver.xinetd in there with the name "vnc".
Then I restarted xinetd using "/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart"
and watched /var/log/messages for complaints.

Chuck:
        Heya. You've probably already discovered this, but there's
a registry setting you need to make to your VNC server machine to
allow loopback:

        http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html

        Down at the bottom, AllowLoopback. Or, even more aggressive,
try LoopbackOnly (which appears to be specific to working well with
SSH tunneling). Hope one of them is what you're looking for!

Thanks.  The "permitopen" option works really well on the sshd.  The only
way I seem to be able to get around the loopback restriction is by running
the ssh client on an intermediate machine.  The "AllowLoopback" registry
setting changes nothing.

I wasn't expecting this.  I have no idea why loopback connections
wouldn't be allowed, and I suspect a source code change would be
required to change it.  Anyone?

One of the advantages of using public key authentication is that OpenSSH
can limit port forwarding to particular host:port combinations specified
by the permitonly option in the authorized_keys file.

From: "Jeff Vincent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Re: Updated. Was Re: Success was Re: VNC Server setup on Linux

The problems I had when I started writing the initial draft that David
has now adapted is that older versions of gdm and kdm both did seem to
use the xdm-config files from what I remember.  My old SuSe box did (I
believe anyway).  It is all sort of blurring together.

If you know which configuration files each version of each dm uses, let
us/me know.  It will definitely simplify things.  I started doing it by
distribution/OS version but it may need to be based on dm/version to
show what configuration files each uses.  Then each dm/version section
could just reference the files that it uses.  The file section could
then just explain what needs to change for that file alone.

I didn't (and still don't) have all knowledge and just started throwing
it together as I got it working.  Now as xinetd comes into play with
more of the distributions, it adds one more twist to an already tangled
mess.  Also, as the dm's progress, they seem to be going to their own
set of config files.  For example, the kdmrc file for kdm in the Debian
(woody-testing) version I could NOT get to work at all with Xvnc (grey
screen only).  My guess is that the version of kdm it was using at the
time was still trying to reference the xdm-config or other xdm files and
because they weren't there, it didn't work right.   That is my take.  I
got gdm working the first time.

All suggestions are welcomed and appreciated and thanks for the other
corrections.  That is what this was intended to do, get input and
refinements to make it start to crystalize into a really helpful
document.  It sure beats trying to muck through a search of the list
archives.

There are some confusions which aren't that bad, but which should, IMHO
be
avoided

In the section about gdmconfig
  3)
  b) If running Gnome as your desktop, ...

It doesn't matter whether your desktop is gnome, kde, icewm or
whatever. What
matters is whether you use xdm, kdm or gdm as display manager. Thus
this should
be changed in "If running gdm as your display manager, ...".
(nb: in fact in the redhat, in the basic configuration the display
manager and
the desktop are the same, as they are both set up by
/etc/sysconfig/desktop or
something like that).

- - some settings seems to be valid for all the configurations, but it
isn't
true. For example,

2) edit 'xdm-config' and comment out the line '!
DisplayManager.requestPort: 0'
(should be the last line)

hasn't any impact on the gdm settings. I think it should be made more
clear. I
put here a summary of what is needed for the display managers I know:

xdm: 2) and 4)

2) edit 'xdm-config' and comment out the line '!
DisplayManager.requestPort: 0'
(should be the last line)
                     a) RedHat 6.2, 7.1, 7.2 -
'/etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config'

4) edit Xaccess and uncomment the line '*        #any host can get a
login
window'
                             a) RedHat 6.2, 7.1, 7.2 -'
/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess'

gdm: 3) b)

I have never used kdm, but I have heard on another mailing list that
for old
versions of kdm, the config files used are the same than for xdm (point
2) and
4)) and that for new kdm there is a kdmrc file, as stated in 3) a).


Changing config for applications you don't use isn't such a big deal,
but I
think it may confuse things.


Last, I think it should be fine if, in addition to explaining how to
set up gdm
to accept xdmcp with gdmconfig, there was also a explaination on how to
do it
manualy, like

"edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and in the [xdmcp] section, put
"Enable=true" and
"Port=177""



It is only suggestions, now, do what you want !
