Hello from sunny SaiGon.

For training purposes, I want to share one LAN client/server's desktop or terminal with many (actually 9) clients on a classrom LAN running SuSE 9.1, but WITHOUT giving the other clients any control of the desktop or terminal being shared, except as explicitly permitted.

Take a look at TightVnc.com. They have a version that will allow a view only instance of VNC. In addition you should not need to do the daisychain solution. One vncserver can allow multiple vnc client connections. When you start up the VNC server look for a flag that forces shared desktops (-alwaysshared). Let me know if you have any other questions on this implementation. Ron
