Disable new clients problem

Hi,

Is there a way to automatically uncheck Disable New Clients when the
connection gets dropped?

I have a user that lost her connection last night and couldn't get back on
the computer since she checked Disable New Clients.

Would stopping and restarting the service work?

Running dev 1.37 on Win XP.

Thanks
Simon

VNC over VPN

I use VNC over VPN when I am away from work. I use OpenVPN so I know my
VNC sessions are secured. If I run the VNC server and leave the account
logged in, everything is fine. But, if I do Start -> Log Off -> Switch
User then I cannot connect to the VNC server over the VPN.

The reason I am concerned about this is that there are three users on this
win box, and I want all to have a VNC server process on different ports
(diff passwords) and have it so when we are all away nobody can sit down
at the winbox and see what everyone is doing while they use their
respective VNC process.

So, in short, is there a way to run TightVNC server and log off and still
have the process usuable?

Michael

When I connect to an XP box with TightVNC the 'Bliss' grass-sky goes to blue

Hi,

When I interact with a server box from the Internet via the TightVNC 
Viewer, the usual 'XP Bliss' Desktop screen changes to Dark Blue.  I 
have Dark Blue set as my screen colour but with the 'Bliss'  landscape 
the default.

For me to get it back, I have to reboot the server box when I get back 
to the office.

Why would this be?

Thanks

Rock

RE: VNC over VPN

First, make sure WinVNC runs as a process.
Second, dev7 definitely does have a bug in it that prevents a smooth logoff/logon in any given session.
Regress to dev6 to see if that 'fixes' your problem.

server connection problems in FC4

Re: server connection problems in FC4

Probable a selinux problem.
Run system-config-securitylevel
At the bottome, it shows other ports.
Enter 5901:tcp for port 01.

I generally also modify vncservers file
/etc/sysconfig/vncservers

You can modify the line VNCSERVERS to
VNCSERVERS="1:user1 20:user2 50:user3"
Then you activate the vncserver service, and it will start these sessions at 
boot time. You must set the session up manually once to create the 
password.

I like to use specific ports for users, and you would need to open each port 
for the selinux to allow it to connect.

VNC viewer can't "see" alpha-blended apps?

RE: VNC viewer can't "see" alpha-blended apps?

Jeff,

Current VNC Server releases (http://www.realvnc.com/download.html) support
capture of alpha-blended windows. 

Cheers,
