[rhn-users] Install of VNC (Virtual Network Computing)

[Robert Pelletier]

After doing the VNCSERVER am I supposed to logoff? If so how do I do it? Also we are connecting from another session but all they see is a gray screen. 
Do I have to do anything to the xstartup file? It is pointing to an init file. Thanks all.
Bob

Thanks for the tip, Kevin...the memory stick that is.
 
I have bought and downloaded the newest version of RealVNC for my Linux box but haven't installed it yet.  I was told by their tech support that will allow me to attach to the server and view the current session, instead of creating a new session on the server.  Can you verify this is true??
 
Thanks.

PS My condolences to all Londoners on your tragic losses...what a shock that was to hear about it on the news as we drove to work.  I have an uncle, aunt and cousins living in Maidenhead...getting a little too close to home.

Good Day All. I have been asked to install VNC first on my PC and then the production server. I am a real Linux newbie. Can someone point me to a good site to down load it from or is it an RPM in Red Hat v9? Also is it part of RH E3? Thanks for any help the group can give me.   

  

Good, VNC is absolutely brilliant and a godsend for remote support.

We use tightvnc ( www.tightvnc.com), the RPM just installed on ES3 and it works a charm. If you only want to use your pc as a client then there's no install required. Just download vncviewer and run it! Personally I have putty and vncviewer on a memory stick which give me full access to the servers.
