My mom's stock/boxed SUSE 8.2 is on dial-up. Sometimes I teach her to do tasks via vnc, being located in another country. I'm new to vnc, but the desktop sharing we do from her KDE session is simple and the thing works quite well...
The second related question is that on her computer I saw TCP 5800 listening. I didn't see it before she activated the desktop sharing and would be interested, how it could get opened. I didn't activate vnc through xinetd and chkconfig reports it (as supposed) to be deactivated. The only thing is that via KDE's Control Panel we acti- vated the above desktop sharing and immediately moved it to a higher port number. TCP 5800 I just saw accidentally and is anyway firewal- led; the particular port needed by me has been opened under the SuSEfirewall2.

VNC uses port 5800 for the java based server, i.e. the client runs in a web browser. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
