I'm sorry to keep at this but may i have one last try? My students are able to use vnc from home on windows desktops and view their x desktops at school. We are using tightVNC tunnelled through SSH. At the moment they have to log in using SSH once to start a vncserver and get their desktop number. Then they have to log in again using this number to forward the correct port before starting a vncviewer. They log into a LTSP server so all the necessary ports are already open. My goal is to allow them to request a connection on the first attempt and to get a desktop automatically assigned to them. ie to eliminate the need to explicitly start a vnc server. It is not feasible because of the number of students to allow a permanent vnc session for each. regards garry ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Definitive IT and Networking Event.
