Thanks Gary, but I am making progress.....SLOW progress. I would love an explanation if someone wouldn't mind:

I got rid of the errors by enabling x11 forwarding in putty. Okay, sounds fair enough, except that the CentOS box I just set up doesn't have x11 forwarding enabled and I don't get any error messages when I log in. Also, it still "hangs" for a moment before prompting me for my password. My other box asks instantly.

The only thing I can figure is the installation of "x11vnc" on the Rivendell v2 appliance must have something to do with it. I use tiger-vnc on my other box because I don't want to connect to a physical display.

Anyway, I FINALLY have x11vnc working over ssh now using putty and ssl/ssh vnc viewer.

What I can't seem to make work now is using ONLY ssl/ssh vnc viewer. Also, when trying it stalls for almost a minute it seems before prompting for my password.

Baby steps...

As an aside, I installed the RDD appliance on VMWare workstation and RDD didn't even show up, even though the Centos installed fine. I am wondering what am I missing? Regarding the ssh, there is a video config setting somewhere in the config but not sure of the details sorry.

    I am trying to set up ssh on the appliance v2.  When using putty to

    Once I
    am finally logged in, I get the following errors:

    xset:  unable to open display ""
    xset:  unable to open display ""
    xhost:  unable to open display ""

      This is on a fresh virgin install of appliance v2.

    I recently set up a non rivendell box on CentOS 6.4 and got this
    working
    with very little effort.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
