Re: Mouse cursor doesn't disappear when typing

   As I said in the bug report (but forgot to include in my email), I've
tried all three options for mouse cursor handling ("Track cursor locally",
"Track remote cursor locally", and "Let remote server deal with mouse
cursor").  Any suggestions?  I've tried using Ultr <at> VNC with their "hook"
video driver, and that fixes the mouse problem, so I imagine it has
something to do with the way VNC polls the screen.

 In the viewer, set the settings to have the remote machine deal with the
 cursor.  This may help get rid of it.  NOTE:
 You may still have a little black square around where the tip of the
cursor
 (or the point of clicking) should be.  This cannot be helped.

xterm/DISPLAY issue

Hi

i am having issues with the DISPLAY. i need to open an xterm and here is 
what i did. I am using VNC software to access from home.

I need to run a xterm in PROD box. I usually log to a DEV box (say, mach1) 
first and then do an rlogin to get to the PROD box (say, mach2). here is 
what i did.

mach1> xhost +
mach1> echo $DISPLAY
mach1:0.0
mach1> rlogin mach2 -l ProdID    //i have a different ID in PROD and DEV
......
...... ( i log into the PROD box)
......
mach2> setenv DISPLAY mach1:0.0
mach2> xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: mach1:0.0

Any ideas??? I need to use VNC since i am accessing the machines from home.

Thanks
Venkat

Re: Mouse cursor doesn't disappear when typing

   That should be two options, not three: "Track remote cursor locally"
and "Let remote server deal with mouse cursor"  Neither option fixes the
problem.

Have you tried ssh? 
ssh -X mach2 xterm

That has worked well for me.

Re: tightVNC vs ultraVNC, and disable properties

That's all well and good, but please use the lists.  That is what the
lists are here for (Sorry if that sounds harsh, but you are the second
person in two or three days).  Now I have to be rude and copy both lists
on the answer so that it can be archived.

> So what is the diff between the tightVNC and ultraVNC?

Good question.  I currently don't use either.  A glance at the UltraVNC
site lists all the "improvements" they have made.  It looks you would be
most interested in the "Video Hook Driver".

The only way to tell for *your situation* is to test them both.  They are
both free so it will only cost you the time to do it.

Re: SSHVnc

Lee:

	Heya. Can you describe for us how "SSHVnc" works,
perhaps give an example of how to set it up? The post that's
"hot off the press" from martinx basically announces what you
announce below. I'd like to describe your project in the
"faq.GoToMyVNC.com" pages, but it'd be good to get the basic
usage "from the horse's mouth", so to speak.

	Thanks in advance!

RE: SSHVnc

No problem, 

SSHVnc automates the process of forwarding VNC connections over SSH,
providing a secure connection and stronger authentication mechanisms.
SSHVnc currently allows you to use password/public-key authentication
and a future signed applet version is planned.

Creating a connection is simple and achieved through a single dialog.
You can enter the basic connection details as well as configure advanced
SSH properties such as the preferred encryption algorithm. The dialog
also includes a VNC tab for the VNC properties, here you need to enter
the host and port of the VNC server.

To create the VNC session, the application connects to the SSH server
and authenticates the user using the SSH authentication mechanisms; once
authenticated, SSHVnc requests that the server open a socket to the VNC
server (which ideally should reside on the same machine as VNC and so
that the connection is provided solely through the loop back address).
Once the socket has been connected, all the VNC session data is
transferred through the encrypted tunnel to the client and its here that
your VNC session begins, if you have a VNC password set, SSHVnc will
also prompt you before opening the VNC session.

I hope this helps.

Lee

I really hate excessive quoting, but I'm gonna do it here... :)
Question: Can you have SSHVnc run a command after it connects? The reason I ask
this is because I don't have VNC Server running 24/7. I just start it up when I

I am also very interested in a SSHVnc that can be secure access from
any hosts.  More information would be helpful.
