Is there a way to configure vnc (or any of it's other incarnations, such as tightvnc, vino etc) so that one can "lock host keyboard" and "blank host monitor"? Sure, through a script you perform the following pseudo commands:
1) ssh into the host machine 2) su - to root 3) shutdown runlevel 5 with an init 3 command 4) exit root 5) start a vncserver note: you will need to change the defaults in .vnc startup to start kde instead of twm. 6) use vncviewer over ssh to access the vncserver: vncserver -via hostname hostname:1 The host machine will have a console login showing, and the remote machine will have an active desktop running over ssh. sweet. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
