Hello Jon, Yes, I did get VNC to work. No, I did not get a terminal service like solution to work.
The trick with getting VNC to work was to turn off all visual effects, then I could simply ssh in and issue vncserver and vnc to which ever port number was handed out. Each time you do a vncserver it will start a new instance on next port up. So if you already have screensharing enabled you'll have 5901 be the next. If you do it again you'll get 5902 etc, though it'll only say on port 1 or 2 etc. Now you can end these with "ps -ef|grep vnc" and then kill the PIDs for the running vnc servers. The config for vncserver will come from ~/.vnc/xstartup. In b111 (2009.06) it defaults to twn, in b134 it defaults to gnome. You can of course set it up anyway you want. You'll have to understand the values of the config file of course. I have reverted back to b111 because b134 nuked one of my pool so I had to edit xstartup because I didn't want to use twn. Here is a nice link on that: http://blogs.sun.com/divyen/entry/vnc_opensolaris_2009_06_ami However you should be able to present a login page which would provide terminal service like results. You might also be interested in knowing that you can pass various options to vncserver in case you want to over ride your config. For instance you can do: vncserver -depth 24 -geometry 1680x1050 :0 This is specifying a color depth of 24 bit, this is good if you need to increase quality or decrease bandwidth. The geometry should be 1680 by 1050, this is good if you need it bigger or smaller for specific session. And the ':0' is stating port 0, but really we are counting from 5900 as mentioned above. So a :1 would be 5901, etc... I hope that helps. If you are specifically looking for TS I believe you should be able to pull it off. I would google for xstartup values, or vnc script values, or solaris xstartup values, or solaris vnc xstartup config, etc. Basically refine the search until you start getting the hits you're looking for, but I think you will want to focus on the xstartup file. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
