I think you're redirecting VNC from 5901 to localhost:5900, but then asking the vncviewer to open on port 5901. What if you do ONE of the following: ssh -L 5901:192.168.0.203:5901 (instead of 5900) -OR- Vncviewer localhost:0 ?? --TwinkieStix On Tue, 2002-12-17 at 10:00, Simon Ree wrote:

James, I went thro' the startup script and found it was related to a permission problem. The way I solved it was to make the 'passwd' file in my .vnc folder to be -rwx--. It was not like this before. This is related to the code in the startup script, must be a bug. Cheers Sridhar James
