Hi,
Am using VNC on a DSL 2.0 hd installation.
If a password protected connection is required, make the following alteration to '/usr/local/bin/vnc4x.sh' and '/usr/local/bin/vnc4x0.sh':
In the last line of each script file delete "-SecurityTypes=none" and add "PasswordFile=/home/dsl/.vnc/passwd".
Set the password with 'vncpasswd'.
However a question. According to the dsl wiki, vnc should be run by adding the following to the /home/dsl/.xinitrc file:
/usr/local/bin/vnc4x.sh &
/usr/local/bin/vnc4x0.sh &
These lines call scripts that in turn call 'vncserver' and x0vncserver' respectively.
According to the Real VNC man pages, vncserver is "used to start a VNC (Virtual Network Computing) desktop." and x0vncserver "is a VNC server which continuously polls any X display, allowing it to be controlled via VNC."
Question is, do both need to be run? If not, under what circumstances would either be used.
Thanks,
Geoff.
