If the server is running on 192.168.2.34 and you call the password file myvncpasswdfile you would do this
vncviewer 192.168.2.34:1 -passwd myvncpasswdfile
If you don't trust your network or you want to use VNC securely over the Internet use an SSH tunnel to connect to the VNC server like so. You should only use SSH with PKI.
Assuming you already have your PKI setup to grant you access to your account on the server.
1) SSH into the server
2) Start a new vncserver session
3) Find the VNC port it is serving (ps U <your user name> | grep vnc)
4) Logout of the server
5) Create an SSH port forward to the VNC port on the remote system
Example: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -CL 5900:127.0.0.1:5901
6) Run the VNC client locally. vncviewer :0
7) Enter your VNC password on the server
SSH will tunnel the VNC port 5900 on your local computer to the 5901 on the remote system.

Hi all,
Having a little trouble..
Currently running PCLinuxOS .93MiniMe -- I've installed tightVNC server via Synaptic.
Now, whenever I try and run "vncserver" it simply dumps
"vncserver: Wrong type or access mode of /home/mbrown/.vnc." to the screen (mind you I'm doing this over SSH).
I tried doing sudo vncserver but then it starts the vncserver on the ROOT desktop (BAD!).
Can someone tell me
1) How to start it up, with a password
2) How to make it start on boot, with a password
