You can. telnet to the machine as a given user and (assuming the user is logged in) set the gconf key /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled to true. > 2, When vino run, you can not find a tray icon, user will be confused > how to stop it.(We can also make this feature for vino, we are > evaluating this feature.) Vino is started via a capplet as most gnome desktop services and afaik realVNC doesn't provide a tray icon in gnome either (nor any desktop integration). So why does it make realVNC better ? > 3, The most important, vino uses VNC protocol, this protocol is come > from VNC, and there are lot of source code in vino are come from VNC. > So, since we are using VNC protocol, why not we just use vnc-server? Because with vnc-server doesn't have the capability to dynamically hook into an already running desktop session. This is a must have feature for remote administration scenario. Vino was implemented for that. vino is a vnc server. [...] >> >> Vino was developed by Sun specifically for the gnome desktop.

As far as I recall, the problem for solaris is that vino is using gnutls http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/ as oppose to the equivalent library for solaris. > After using vino, I am thinking about use ssh for vino(Still not > scucceed).

If you want more details about vino have a look at Sun's LSARC case 2004/164 HTH, Erwann -- Erwann Ch?ned?, Desktop Group, Sun Microsystems Phone : +33 476 188 358 ext: 38358 [ I speak for myself, not for my employer ]
