On one system I start Krfb and Create Personal Invitation which presents Host address and Password.
On the other system I start Krdc, click Connect to a VNC Remote Desktop, and type the Host address in the Remote desktop: vnc field.
I get the Host Config panel and press OK. I get a blue empty panel but NOT a Password panel. So I cannot type the password given on the first system and the connection times out.
I cannot find the reason - there are many unclear issues in the Handbooks by Brad Hards.

Most likely a firewall issue on the target machine. You never get the password prompt till krdc establishes a connection. If it can't make a connection you won't see the password screen.
Temporarily turn off your suse firewall on the target and try again.

I am in Portugal and I'd like to monitor the laptop of my sister in Holland if she needs help. But I don't like that she has to turn of her firewall completely. Is there a less insecure way?
