I tried connecting to a MSWindows RealVNC server with krdc and I remember that I couldn't login. It could be latency across the pond, or network traffic causing the login to time out. Eventually I ran out of patience/time and decided to remove the login passwd and instead lock down access to the RealVNC, MSWindows box and its network, from my IP address only. I never discovered why authentication would not work. -- Regards, Mick
