I know about setting up VNC over SSH by connecting to the "server" machine via SSH with the -L switch and pointing the viewer at localhost, but we want to do it a little differently...
What we want to do is (a) have the "server" machine (and user) initiate the SSH connection with the -L switch and (b) use the "Add New Client" (or "winvnc -connect address") to initiate the connection over the SSH pipe. We've had no success due to the fact that it looks like, while the VNC server will *listen* for SSH, it won't *speak* through SSH. So far, after successfully establishing the SSH connection (with -L), "winvnc -connect localhost" does nothing, and "winvnc -connect realaddress" works fine, even though both machines have the "LoopbackOnly" = "1". Any ideas? We use VNC for remote customer support and we're trying to avoid setting up SSHd on every user's PC, instead having them connect to our PCs with a command-line client (with -N so they don't nose around our HDs). - John Straffin John C.
