How is my vnc getting started at boot

2011-08-29 Thread akshay sreeramoju
Hi!

I am unable to figure how vncserver is being launched during local package
initialization of my FreBSD 8.2 Release boot.

Can anyone help or point me in right direction to figure where my vncserver
is being launched from?

I need to change my vnc root window size.

Thanks,

Akshay

net/vnc fails to build vnc.so on 8.1 Prerelease amd64

Hi,

I want to be able to run a vnc server to share my real X-session.
I use kdm.
I've been trying to build vnc with vnc.so module.
However, it fails to build this file.
Any idea on how to resolve this?

Why VNC server crashes when client disconnects?

2009-12-16 Thread Yuri

I used vnc while ago without this problem.
Now I see that when client gracefully exits (window close) server 
crashes with exception:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'rdr::EndOfStream'
knotify: Fatal IO error: client killed
kwin: Fatal IO error: client killed
ksmserver: Fatal IO error: client killed
kaccess: Fatal IO error: client killed



Is this something temporary, or somethig's wrong with my system?

I use x11vnc (net/x11vnc), as it doesn't require loading anything into
the X server itself--it's a standard X client.

From there, it wouldn't be difficult to hack together something that
starts x11vnc when the X server starts up. XDM and GDM tend to store
their X authority files in easy-to-find locations.

Re: VNC server embedded into Xorg server

2008-10-07 Thread Olivier Nicole
Hi,

Sorry for jumping in the middle of the thread.

 There was a port called net/vnc that contained a vnc.so file. That file
 could be loaded into the Xorg server and then I was able to monitor the
 X desktop with VNC.
 
 Now I'm using gnome, and gnome2-fifth-toe installs tightvnc. It
 conflicts with net/vnc. So I cannot install net/vnc. What other options
 I have to run an X server?

I would:

- deinstall net/vnc
- install gnome and let it install tinyvnc
- manually deinstall tinyvnc
- install net/vnc

 The only extra wish is that the X server must be able to start
 automatically, e.g. without logging into gnome. I need this because the
 X server will be located at a distant location and I have to be able to
 use it after a system restart.

Especially with gnome, the X server starts before you do any
authentication, when gnome present the loggin window, X has already
started.

To do X over vnc remotely, you need quite some amount of
bandwidth. Are you sure you need a graphical access?

X protocol is designed natively to run over the network, so you may
not need vnc. With X you can have an application running on your
remote computer, with the display coming to your desktop machine (if
your desktop machine is some Windows thing, there are good X
emulators for Windows).

If you really want to keep your setting, there should exist a gnome
startup script that you can hack to run vnc somewhere between the line
starting X and the line starting gnome authentication.

Best regards,

Olivier

Annoying FreeBSD 6.2 behavior - takedown of VNC sessions

2008-01-04 Thread Clint Olsen
Since I've upgraded to 6.2-RELEASE, I've noticed that every few disconnects
(especially putting my laptop to sleep while still connected) while
connecting remotely to a VNC hosted on FreeBSD, it tanks my gnome-session
entirely.  I've tried a couple variations (exec, background or not), but
this never used to happen with 5.4-STABLE.  I use VNC specifically for the
purpose of being able to disconnect and not have it crash my windowing
sessions.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Josh and others

Has anybody been able to solve this problem yet?

I pulled in a friend who has a zillion years of experience with BSD and 
was not able to solve the problem.
It looks like it is not even possible to start the X when the machine 
has a monitor attched to it.


I installed FreeBSD 7.0 Beta with xorg 7.3.1, but there the problem

 vnc-4.1.2_2 from ports. I wonder if this is related to it compiling

The tightvnc port has the same problem, actually. Same message in the
vnc log, but also another:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range
for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  102 (X_ChangeKeyboardControl)
  Value in failed request:  0x3c
  Serial number of failed request:  6
  Current serial number in output stream:  8
Xlib: sequence lost (0x1  0x8) in reply type 0x0!
X Error of failed request:  0
  Major opcode of failed request:  0 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  0
  Current serial number in output stream:  8

Would it matter that the window manager itself is linked
against/compiled against X.org, while these VNC ports use old XFree86?
I wouldn't think so, unless Xlib is different enough.

Perhaps this should be posted to freebsd-x11 instead?

What about NX or X11?
You can use a free X-Server such as Cygwin X on your Windows PC to
connect to your FreeBSD Box.

xrdp is the newest buzzword:

X11, all kinds of VNC, NX and other protocols are all

To: Pete C [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The way I have mine setup is with Tight VNC (fairly new) [tightvnc.org]
Then run it with the local option (so it binds to 127.0.0.1 instead of
outside interface (for security reasons).  Then I use Putty to SSH in and
use that to port forward.

Then after I have SSH session I do VNC to localhost:10 which drops me to
the unix desktop.

The advantages of this are:
Secure encrypted connection.
Ability to use compression (either via SSH or TightVNC)
Compression allows it to be really fast, it's fairly responsive even over a
DSL or cable line.
Also secure in the fact that your VNC port isn't hanging wide open (just
SSH)
If your on the local unix box you can also just start a desktop then do
'vncviewer 127.0.0.1:1' and get your remote desktop (so it moves around
with you, regardless if your local or remote)

Xvfb + VNC

2007-03-16 Thread Laszlo Nagy


 Hello,

I could install gdm with Xorg and vnc.so module loaded. This is fine, 
now I can access that X server with vnc. The problem is that the Xorg 
server needs a video card. So if somebody connects a montior to that 
server while I'm working from home then he/she will see what I'm doing. 
(I cannot restrict physical access to that computer, but I do not want 
others to see my desktop...)


My idea is to create a virtual framebuffer server with Xvfb,  and load 
vnc.so module there. Since vnc.so can be password protected, in theory, 
nobody will have access to that X session, except me. But I cannot do 
this. Xvfb(1) tells me that it has the same options that Xserver(1) has. 
The Xserver(1) does not tell me anything about loadable modules, but X 
is a symlink to Xorg. Well, Xorg has a -config option but Xvfb does not. 
:-( Does it mean that I cannot load vnc.so into the virtual 
framebuffer server?


Is there a better solution?

In my dreams:

1. I would run a virtual X server, that is not visible directly (not 
requiring any video card)

2. I would access this X server with some program remotely (preferrably VNC)
3. This remote access needs to be secure to some extent
4. This remote access should be fast enough to use through a DSL connection

Can my dreams come true?

Thanks,

  Laszlo

How do you do cross-compilation on amd64? I looked through the mailing list 
archives and couldn't find a method. Also, VNC, slow as it is, tends to be 
faster than running X apps directly, at least over high-latency networks.  NX 
runs rings around both of them, though.

Does anyone run VNC with 64-bit FreeBSD (amd64)?

2006-06-22 Thread Greg Lane
G'day everyone,

I recently had to replace a disk and took the opportunity to 
upgrade from 5-stable to 6-stable.  I also changed from the 
32-bit to the 64-bit version.  I have a dual Opteron server. 

VNC installed from ports (4.2.1) doesn't work on the 64-bit machine.
The same version installed on my home machine (32-bit) with the .vnc 
directory copied over exactly from my work 64-bit machine runs fine. 
So in what sense does it fail

If I create a blank .vnc/xstartup, then I get the usual grey screen.
Then if I try and run X commands on that display, some work, like 
xsetroot -solid blue, but others, xterm, icewm, twm, etc don't.

130~/.vnc$ icewm -display :9
IceWM: using /home/xx/.icewm for private configuration files
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for 
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  9
  Current serial number in output stream:  10

131~/.vnc$ xterm -display :9
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for 
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Value in failed request:  0x21
  Serial number of failed request:  41
  Current serial number in output stream:  49

If they are in the xstartup file they give the exact same errors in 
the vnc log file.  I was only running them interactively above 
to troubleshoot it.  Google has failed me for once, so I seek 
your experience and advice...

Thanks again!

P.S. Yes, I should have tested more before the upgrade. I did some 
tests, but obviously not enough!  In my defence, I was hastened by 
the disk dying and the need to get the machine back up and running.

I did test one of them. It works, but I don't have time to 
mess with all of them, and finding the 32-bit libraries and 
putting them in the right place took me forever. I am afraid I am 
not a great programmer...

However, I can quickly do a reinstall safely since I have a recent 
backup and all my /data and /home file systems are on 
separate disks I can just unplug.  It comes down to a how much time 
do I have to spare issue and in the end the machine has to be back

VNC forwarding over sshd issue

2006-02-17 Thread Scott I. Remick
I'm having a weird problem that surfaces sometimes and I am having trouble
pinning down the cause.

What I do is use VNC to remote-control my home FreeBSD box remotely. Most
of the time, this works fine. My home router forwards the external port to
my FreeBSD (6.0R) box. I use PuTTY as a Windows ssh client, and have a
saved session that does the VNC port-forwarding (local port 7000 forwards
over ssh to remote port 5900). I run Gnome (2.12.2) and vino as my VNC
server and connect to my home desktop. Sshd is OpenSSH 2.6.1, PuTTY 0.53b,
TightVNC 1.2.9

But every now and then (like right now), the VNC side of things fails. I
can still connect via SSH just fine. The PuTTY logs show the port is
successfully being forwarded with no error:

2006-02-17 09:38:58 Local port 7000 forwarding to localhost:5900

But when I try to launch a VNC client on the remote PC (in this case,
TightVNC) I get a Connection closed error. The PuTTY logs show:

2006-02-17 09:52:42 Opening forwarded connection to localhost:5900
2006-02-17 09:52:42 Forwarded port closed

On the FreeBSD box, no log files seem to get changed after the attempt. In
particular, I check messages and auth.log but doing a listing sorted by
time, I see nothing logged.

What I DO know is if I went home and restarted the FreeBSD box, it'd work.
I've tried -HUP on both sshd and vino-server to no avail. 

I cannot find any docs for vino-server to determine additional params I
could pass it for more-detailed logging. Enabling additional debugging info
on sshd with the -d option seems to not be an option remotely since it
prevents it from going into daemon mode and it'll only handle one
connection, and I can't make the problem surface on-request in order to
test it while at home.

The problem is particularly annoying because I can't MAKE it happen. It
just sometimes does, with no settings changes, and will work again after
rebooting the FreeBSD system, again with no settings changes. SSH never
stops working... it's always the VNC-port-forwarding side of things.

Any suggestions? Somewhere else to look for info? Some way to get more
debug info from sshd or vino-server? Thanks

could pass it for more-detailed logging. Enabling additional debugging info
on sshd with the -d option seems to not be an option remotely since it
prevents it from going into daemon mode and it'll only handle one
connection, and I can't make the problem surface on-request in order to
test it while at home.

The problem is particularly annoying because I can't MAKE it happen. It
just sometimes does, with no settings changes, and will work again after
rebooting the FreeBSD system, again with no settings changes. SSH never
stops working... it's always the VNC-port-forwarding side of things.

Any suggestions? Somewhere else to look for info? Some way to get more
debug info from sshd or vino-server? Thanks



I'm assuming you try to connect several times and it fails each time.  I 
use TightVNC to connect to KDE's desktop sharing and it gives the same 
error sometimes (not through SSH though).  If I keep trying it will 
eventually get through.


Some basic troubleshooting ideas:
Eliminate SSH port forwarding as a suspect by connecting directly to the 
VNC port from your LAN the next time the error comes up.


Eliminate TightVNC as a suspect by trying another VNC client, such as 
RealVNC.


Eliminate Vino as a suspect trying another VNC server.

A -HUP wont necessarily do anything to a daemon that is responding 
oddly. You can try restarting sshd completely by doing /etc/rc.d/sshd 
restart. This can be done remotely, just don't close your existing 
connection until you know the daemon came back up. Close your connection 
and reconnect. You can probably do the same to vino by killing it and 
then bringing it back up (not familiar with vino).


Once you know where the problem originates maybe you can figure out how 
to fix it, or at least how to work around it.

vnc server problems/amd64

2006-01-10 Thread Wojciech Puchar

FreeBSD 6.0 amd64

i tried to run it but crashes on first X client started

as i386 version works i replaced Xvnc with i386 version - now works

as long as i don't run any gtk/gdk based program

then i got:

The program 'gimp' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'.
  (Details: serial 294 error_code 10 request_code 129 minor_code 5)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() 
function.)



is anyone running VNC with FreeBSD here?

VNC + SSH question..

2005-08-30 Thread Eric Murphy

Hey guys had a SSH forward question so here goes...


I have 2 computers on my lan one of them is a server and the other is my 
desktop.


Desktop 192.168.1.104
Server 192.168.1.103

Now I have port forwarding setup on my crappy linksys router so 22 is 
pointing to my Server (192.168.1.103)


My question is this...


I would like to tightVNC to my Desktop (192.168.1.104) forwarding it 
through SSH.  Now from what I understand If my router was pointing to my 
desktop this would not be a problem at all.  All I would have to do is 
SSH to my IP while forwarding 22 to 5900.  However I cant do it this way 
since 22 is pointing to my server.  So I figured I would ssh into my 
server and issue a command such as ssh 192.168.1.103  
-L22:192.168.1.104:5900 however once im in and I run vncview it 
obivoiusly can be displayed becuase Im not running X on the server.  Am 
I way off here? Is there a way to do this? Will I need to forward 22 on 
my router to the desktop as well as server? Is there a way to connect to 
my server thats not running X and some how vnc into my desktop?


On the remote machines I'd be useing PuTTY for windows and SSH on Linux 
box's.  Prehaps someone can give me a step by step guide?

To my knowledge TightVNC doesn't support access to X via the :0'th  
display. That may be your problem and not your port forwarding setup,  
because it appears-at least to me-that it is correct. So, try a  
different display or if you want access via display :0 try x11vnc.  
Note that it may be considered more of a security issue since it  
would connect directly to your desktop's display.

 Why can't you just give them static mappings. On my networks I use
 DHCP for everything.
 I then tell my DHCP/DNS server (m0n0wall) to reserve and only give
 this ip address to server x or printer y etc.to put it bluntly...

Static IPs would certainly work, but this particular subnet is expected
to see a large degree of growth over the next few years, and my client
specificially asked for dynamic IPs.

 One solution we've considered is setting up a multiplexer of sorts that
 would enable users of VNC client apps to pick and choose which machine
 to connect to inside the LAN per session, but I'm curious to know if
 such a thing (or something similar) exists already.

 I've never heard of such a device

And after researching it, I'm discovering that even *making* such a
device would be extremely difficult because the VNC protocol itself does
not lend itself well to proxying.  So there's my answer: write a
multiplexer myself.

 I'd be very interested in knowing what solutions any of you may have
 come with to tackle this problem.

 DNS. u what about setting up a web page where the user can
 click on which server to connect to (you will still need DNS or Static
 mappings) and then it opens up in a java VNC client?

We've considered doing that.  However, my client has been somewhat
unimpressed by the Java VNC client, and is not terribly interested in
using it either.

Nevertheless, I appreciate your response.

Why can't you just give them static mappings. On my networks I use
DHCP for everything.
I then tell my DHCP/DNS server (m0n0wall) to reserve and only give
this ip address to server x or printer y etc.to put it bluntly...

 
 One solution we've considered is setting up a multiplexer of sorts that
 would enable users of VNC client apps to pick and choose which machine
 to connect to inside the LAN per session, but I'm curious to know if
 such a thing (or something similar) exists already.

I've never heard of such a device

 
 I'd be very interested in knowing what solutions any of you may have
 come with to tackle this problem.

DNS. u what about setting up a web page where the user can
click on which server to connect to (you will still need DNS or Static
mappings) and then it opens up in a java VNC client?

VNC multiplexer

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

Hi, all.

Slightly off-topic here, but I thought I might get a better (and more
relevant) response from here rather than a more general VNC
list/newsgroup.

I've got a client that would like to be able to connect to VNC servers
behind a FreeBSD gateway.  Said servers are assigned dynamic IPs via
DHCP, so port mapping (via pf) is not an option (AFAIK).  However, we
intend to make use of dynamic DNS, so they will at least have hostnames.

One solution we've considered is setting up a multiplexer of sorts that
would enable users of VNC client apps to pick and choose which machine
to connect to inside the LAN per session, but I'm curious to know if
such a thing (or something similar) exists already.

vnc server install fails on Xorg code

2005-01-31 Thread Colin J. Raven
Hi all!
I wonder if anyone wants to weigh in on this one.

I am trying to get a skeleton X up on a headless 5.3 box. To this end I 
installed tinywm (/usr/ports/x11-wm/tinywm) then went on to install vnc 
server, and the build failed - rather spectacularly- as follows:

vpnc and vnc question

2004-12-06 Thread Tom Connolly
Hello list,
I am trying to connect to my work desktop (Windows 2003 Server) using
vnc on my FreeBSD 5.3 box.  I have been able to connect to the vpn using
vpnc but it seems that my freebsd box is still using my local network
for name resolution because I can't get to my work computer.  I'm trying
to use the machine name but it can't resolve that name.  Any ideas?  I'm
very new to this technology.
 
Thanks,
 
Tom

 I've used the rdesktop client for connecting to a Windows 2003 Server

could have been a PEBKAC situation. I could not get the screen
resolution of the Windoze 2003 server to go anything beyond 640x480 and
it looked horribly grainy. Other than that, it did actually connect and
allowed me to do all that I needed to. I just couldn't handle the

issue with the program. Other than that, I have used the Windows RDC
programs and they work ok.

I use rdesktop regularly to administer some of our Win2003 Servers, and

it works well. Special trick is, that I need to hop first on a jumppad,

where an extra NIC is attached to the dedicated management VLAN of the 
Win boxes, and then hop on them via X-forwarded rdesktop- works well, 
despite that jumppad is a small old crappy Pentium-II, which is also 
busy doing some other things...


so:
ssh -X jumppad
rdesktop -g 1024x768 win-server

That shall give you some window in 1024x768, normal is 800x600 in 
standard mode. when its smaller, I guess you havent configured the 
Graphics driver, or its set to standard VGA. Win (also for remote 
connections) sometimes looks after that settings...

I've used them both (RDP protocol client and various VNC clients on 
different platforms), and they're for two different things.

RDP (the RDC client) is for connecting to Windows Terminal Services; 
you get a desktop login of your own in your own session.  VNC takes 
remote control of a desktop running the server application.  RDP is a 
hack to turn Windows into a multi user system, while VNC is 
single-user implementation.

Which one should you start with?  Depends on the platform and what 
you're trying to do.  If you have a Windows Terminal Server, an RDP 
client is the way to go.  If you don't...VNC is the way to go :-)

I'd also add that the WTS is encrypted.  I don't believe VNC does much 
to encrypt the connection, so it should be wrapped in SSH if possible 
or used over only a trusted network.

At least that's my understanding of it.

Very cool feedback.  Thank you all.  I'll start looking into the

checked out XP Pro yet) and use VNC in the meantime.  I'll be using it
to write Word docs mostly, and if it's efficient enough, I might just

I'm entering this thread late; so please forgive me if I'm duplicating 
someone else's input.

One of TightVNC's enhancements over VNC is the ability to access the 
server from a web browser.

TightVNC listens on port 5800 + the display number. Therefore, if you 
would normally use a vncviewer to access the TightVNC server 
192.168.0.1:1, you could also access the desktop using any gui internet 
browser at:

http://192.168.0.1:5801/ 

(I have NOT tested this from browser on a pda or cell phone.)

TightVNC is available for many operating systems including FreeBSD (it's 
in the ports), Windows and Linux.  I don't think it's available for Mac 
OSX.

Best of luck,

In my experience, vnc is painfully slow.
rdesktop on the other hand has always performed to my full satisfaction.
On Unix machines (and IIRC OSX, as well) you can also use X11

In addition to being secure, tunnelling apps through ssh allows you to 
minimize the number of ports you leave open in your firewall.  (In 
fact, I think rsync works through ssh by default.  You can also start a 
ssh connection from within kermit for a secure kermit connection.)

VNC is great - been using it since 2000

we use the windows version for M$ hosts 
and I can grab my FreeBSD workstation (XFree86/FBSD4.9)
from my laptop and can grab the laptop and other hosts
from the FBSD box just as easily

the current versions are very light on bandwidth too
(useful as I often hook machines in Sydney from our
Melbourne office via our frame relay link. Used to clobber 
the link but now is mostly un-noticable)

Quick question about interconnectivity.

You OSX users may be familiar with a very slick little utility called
RDC (Remote Desktop Connection).  Some of you other *BSDers may also be
familiar with one called VNC (Visual Network Connection ?) or RDP (?).
The purpose of said utilities is to provide a sort of graphical shell
similar to an X session from a remote machine in a window.

There are several rdesktop and vnc clients in the ports, so rather than
go through the flurry of install-tryout-uninstall/repeat, I figured I'd
go to the place to ask questions.  Here.

I've used the rdesktop client for connecting to a Windows 2003 Server 
(/usr/ports/net/rdesktop). I wasn't that impressed but then again it could have 
been a PEBKAC situation. I could not get the screen resolution of the Windoze 
2003 server to go anything beyond 640x480 and it looked horribly grainy. Other 
than that, it did actually connect and allowed me to do all that I needed to. I 
just couldn't handle the graphic element, which again may have been more a user 
issue than an issue with the program. Other than that, I have used the Windows 
RDC programs and they work ok.

Re: anyone gotten vnc 4.0 to compile yet?

2004-10-22 Thread Edmonds, Alan

I got it to compile by placing

#include sys/types.h

in vncsrc/xc/programs/Xserver/vnc/XserverDesktop.h on line 34 (just after the 
#include os.h)

I built this against the X430src- tree on FreeBSD 4.7.  I then copied the vnc.so 
module 
to a FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE box running Xorg 6.7.  The 4.10 box is running with i810 
drivers.
I also tried the module on a 5-latest laptop with DRM enabled and ATI Radeon drivers.  
When
I connected, the laptop screen started flickering and the laptop locked up hard.  
Power cycle
to recover.  I haven't tried it with the DRM disabled.

I modified the XF86Config file as per the instructions on RealVNC's page: 
http://www.realvnc.com/v4/x0.html

If your native X server is an XFree86 version 4 server, then the vnc.so module should 
be copied to the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions directory. It can be enabled like 
any other module by adding a Load vnc line to the Module section of XF86Config. The 
parameters listed in the Xvnc manual page can be set as options in XF86Config. You 
will need to set either the passwordFile parameter or set the securityTypes 
parameter to None if you really don't want any authentication. Note that options 
cannot be set in the Module section of XF86Config - try the Screen section. For 
example: 

Section Module
...
Load vnc
EndSection
...
Section Screen
...
Option passwordFile /root/.vnc/passwd
EndSection

vnc and nat

2004-09-23 Thread Ion-Mihai Tetcu
Hi,


My brain feels a little fuzzy right now and I need to have this working
a few hours ago.

I need to connect to some vnc servers behind a natd/ipfw machine. The
setup is:

me(10.10.10.10)-~-rl0(20.20.20.20) nat/ipfw rl1(192.168.0.1)--(192.168.0.4)vnc

On the nat/ipfw machine here's an except from ipfw rules:
01350 14  728 allow log tcp from 10.10.10.10 to me dst-port 5900-5999 
keep-state
01500  65005 34232225 divert 8668 ip from any to any via rl0
1550429   163094 allow log tcp from any to 192.168.0.4

And here's the nat config file:
 # cat /etc/natd.conf
interface rl0
redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.4:5900-5999 5900-5999
redirect_port udp 192.168.0.4:5900-5999 5900-5999
use_sockets
same_ports
unregistered_only
log
log_denied
log_ipfw_denied

But the packets are not redirected:

kernel: ipfw: 1350 Accept TCP 10.10.10.10:64010 82.76.1.117:5900 in via rl0
kernel: Connection attempt to TCP 20.20.20.20:5900 from 10.10.10.10:64010 fla
gs:0x02
kernel: ipfw: 1350 Accept TCP 20.20.20.20:5900 10.10.10.10:64010 out via rl0


Telneting from nat/ipfw machine to 192.168.0.4 connects to the vnc server.

What am I doing wrong ?


Thanks,

 How would I set up the encrypted port tunneling?

Something like:
ssh -L 5900:your.host.name:5900 your.host.name
should work.  You can then connect to port 5900 on the local machine, and it
will be forwarded to your.host.name.  Note also that you can forward X11
connections like this as well.  The ssh man page has more.

With your setup, you'll still need the nat forwarding on the FreeBSD firewall,
unless you're able to ssh directly to the machine running vnc.

Terminal VNC server

2004-06-10 Thread John Oxley
I have setup a terminal VNC server, and half-documented the way I did it
at http://oxo.rucus.net/docs/Terminal-Vnc-HOWTO

I am the sysadmin of a multi-user box and I am doing this for the plebs
who are members of the computer society (RUCUS http://rucus.ru.ac.za/).
What I want is an easy way of making vnc connections secure.  The
machine is firewalled from outside the LAN, but obviously not from
inside it.  I still don't like unencrypted data flowing over the
network.

For my own use, I use ssh tunnels to do the encryption, but that is far
beyond your Random Joe Fuc^WUser.  How can I make the connections over
vnc secure?  I would prefer not to delve into the source code, but will
if I have to.

TIA,

-Ox

In other experience most versions will interwork with the basic features.
If you want some fancy specific features then you need to investigate

 This is using the same configs, profiles, etc. Nothing has changed except
 the upgrade of the FreeBSD box from 5.1 to 5.2. Any thoughts?

Sorry to reply to my own post, but I'm still stuck and had more info to
offer. I've also tried adding the following line to my rc.conf:

sshd_flags=-f /usr/local/etc/ssh/sshd_config

And in that sshd_config file, I added the following lines:

GatewayPorts yes

Although I'm not sure this applies. It's definitely using that config:

su-2.05b# ps -ax | grep sshd
  426  ??  Is 0:00.07 /usr/local/sbin/sshd -f
/usr/local/etc/ssh/sshd_config
 1807  ??  Is 0:00.03 sshd: scott [priv] (sshd)
 1809  ??  R  0:00.07 sshd: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (sshd)

vncserver is definitely running:

su-2.05b# ps -ax | grep vnc
 1798  p0- S  0:00.23 Xvnc :1 -desktop X -httpd
/usr/X11R6/share/tightvnc/classes -auth /home/scott

Also:

su-2.05b# strobe -b 5900 -e 6000 localhost
strobe 1.05 (c) 1995-1999 Julian Assange [EMAIL PROTECTED].
localhost  5901 unassigned   unknown
- RFB 003.003\n

I've also confirmed that I can VNC in using another PC on the local
network. 

But none of this has helped and I still get the error when I try to tunnel
VNC over ssh.

Upgraded 5.1 - 5.2, now VNC over SSH fails w/ TCP_NODELAY

2004-01-20 Thread Scott I. Remick
Well crap, everything was going so well. I upgraded from 5.1 to 5.2 using
cvsup, recompiled (nearly) all my ports (some KDE stuff is still
complaining, but that shouldn't be relevant here). I have openssh installed
via ports:

su-2.05b# pkg_info | grep ssh
openssh-3.6.1_5 OpenBSD's secure shell client and server (remote login
prog

And my /etc/rc.conf contains:

sshd_enable=YES
sshd_program=/usr/local/sbin/sshd

Under 5.1, I'd SSH in (via PuTTY), then use port-forwarding to forward
localhost:7001 to remote:5901. I could then run VNC, connect to
localhost:7001, and tunnel my VNC session over SSH.

Since upgrading to 5.2 (nothing else has changed), while I can still SSH
in, attempting to tunnel VNC fails and I get the following error in my
PuTTY log:

2004-01-20 11:34:21 Opening forwarded connection to localhost:5901
2004-01-20 11:34:22 Forwarded connection refused by server

On the FreeBSD box, I see:

Jan 20 11:33:57 scott sshd[78580]: error: getsockopt TCP_NODELAY:
Connection reset by peer

This is using the same configs, profiles, etc. Nothing has changed except
the upgrade of the FreeBSD box from 5.1 to 5.2. Any thoughts?

[4.9-R] Ip forwarding for internal VNC.

2003-12-19 Thread jaco
Hi everybody,

I have the following setup:

FreeBSD Server (4.9-R)
 2 NIC's
 [xl0,Public Range IP, 196.xx.xx.xx]
 [xl1,Private Range IP, 192.168.0.1]

Windows 2k server
 [Private IP, 192.168.0.2]

The Windows 2000 server is running VNC and is serving as
an application server for windows software that is not-so-stable on
FreeBSD. :P (The windows machine is not connected directly to the
Internet for obvious reasons ;) )

What I want: I want to be able to connect to the VNC service
running on the Windows machine, via the Internet.

Is it possible to set up port forwarding so that if I connect
to the FreeBSD machine on port 5800, the request be forwarded
to the Windows machine on port 5800? Do I need to set up the
FreeBSD machine in any specific way to accomplish this setup?

Thank you in advance.

Please copy me in any replies, as I am only subscribed to the digest.

Thank you.
Regards
Jaco van Tonder

Put the following in your natd.conf file:

redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.2:5800 5800

then HUP natd.

Don't do that.
Use ssh port forwarding; that way the tunnel only exists when you want
it to, and you will be the only person who can use it.

Check the ssh manpage for details; see the -L option.

Way OT: SSH+VNC as quickndirty VPN

2003-12-04 Thread Goodleaf, John M

Here's the scenario:
I have a Windows machine at work. I have a VNC server on it. It is behind a
firewall over which I have no control, so I cannot make a direct connection
to this machine from outside. What I'd like to do is to initiate a SSH
connection (with compression) to my BSD machine at home (which I can do) and
forward the VNC server connection through that SSH tunnel. I'd like to then
lock my workstation and office, go home, and use vncviewer to have access to
my workstation at work. That way I can do work at odd hours and while
watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Is this possible? I have tried a few combinations of port forwarding, but
for whatever reason, find it unintuitive. Can't quite get it to work. Any
suggestions much appreciated.

-John

I agree, it is counter-intuitive, but I know it mostly works on a Unix-to-
Unix connection, but I have forgotten how to set it up. There may be a
problem with doing it with windows as the server, though.

vnc can only grant access to a single session in windows,  and that
session's display is based on reading the video frame buffer.

This generally would mean that you can't simultaneously lock your machine and
do work on it at the same time from home. In other words, when you login
from home, everything you do will be displayed on the windows machine in
your office while you are doing it.
