That is arguably the most secure way you could use VNC, as long as you prevent direct (non-ssh) connections with the -localhost option of Xvnc/vncserver. Also, you'll have to use "localhost" as the remote host name in your forwarding: ssh2 -L 5901:localhost:5900 my.vnc.server -l userid -- Mike Ossmann, Tarantella/UNIX Engineer/Instructor Alternative Technology, Inc. http://www.alttech.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
