I've followed with interest the latest 'VNC through SSH' and 'want VNC through SSH ONLY' threads and decided to try it.
1. Linux box (RH 5.2), OpenSSH 3.0.2p1 SSH2 set as default 2. VNCServer 3.3.3r1 on Linux box 3. VNCViewer, Windows version, version unknown, filedate 03/19/01, size 176128 bytes. 4. Putty 0.52 on Windows98, set to forward port local port 5901 to linux:5901 5. VNCServer started with -localhost 6. VNCViewer using config file. Config file host=localhost, and port set to 5901 Using the above, when I try to connect from Win98 to Linux box using VNCViewer, nothing happens. Checking Putty event log, it says Opening forwarded connection to linux:5901. Then it says 'Forwarded connection refused by server' If I do *not* start vncserver with -localhost option, I can connect just fine. So, I'd love to enfore VNC connection only through SSH, but at the moment, it doesn't seem to work as I think it should. -- Ron Miller --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
