I want to use tightVNC on my server so that I can do remote graphical administration.
I can run the server. Here is a screen log: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ ps PID TTY TIME CMD 24453 pts/1 00:00:00 bash 24601 pts/1 00:00:00 ps [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ vncserver -name vistaserver New 'vistaserver' desktop is poweredge.tmedgroup.com:2 Starting applications specified in /home/kdt0p/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /home/kdt0p/.vnc/poweredge.tmedgroup.com:2.log [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ ps PID TTY TIME CMD 24453 pts/1 00:00:00 bash 24610 pts/1 00:00:00 Xvnc 24630 pts/1 00:00:00 gconfd-2 24631 pts/1 00:00:00 ps [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ But when I try to connect with a tightVNC viewer from another computer, I get an error "Failed to connect to server." I suspect that my iptables local firewall is blocking the port. But how do I determine what port to try to open? The TightVNC viewer allows one to specify the port, but I don't see how to do that on the server side. Thanks Kevin P.S. is this a security risk? To use this at home, I would have to expose that port to the internet. Kevin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
