Hi Louis, That works fine, but when i establish a connection, a see a black screen with a big X as mouse-pointer, and no my normal KDE-desktop. Also i cannot find any way to execute something. Greets, Franky. On Friday 26 November 2004 15:55, Louis Richards wrote:

The problem with vnc, is that it requires someone at the remote system to allow access, which is not the greatest, if you don't have a keyboard & monitor attached.
That's my problem with it as well. And I don't want to have a short time-out on the connection lifetime. Is reasonable desktop access really too much to ask for?

The Remote Desktop Connection and Desktop Sharing combination seems to have been designed with support in mind. This would mean that someone would be at the other end to support.
If you want full access to the box remotely, go to Yast -> System -> "/etc/sysconfig Editor". Now go to Desktop -> "Display Manager" -> DISPLAY_MANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS and set it to Yes.
Now go to Yast -> "Network Services" -> "Network Services" and enable xinetd if it is not already enabled. Make sure vnc1 and vnchttpd1 are checked.
Restart X
Now you can remote to the logon screen of this machine at any time from anywhere. You can even set a web browser to http://yourmachine:5801 and get to the logon screen if the client is Windows or doesn't have the Remote Desktop client software installed.
HTH Louis
