Louis> No need for that I went straight to /usr/local/bin and removed the executables. RH 7.1 installed the files in the directory /usr/bin/ Now I went ahead and did this from the ssh connection: /usr/bin/vncserver I opened the vncviewer locally, and entered the display it created and it works now. Looks like I needed to use RH one instead of some other one. Like my local setup, vncviewer brings up the AfterStep X window manager. I did that by modifying the "xstartup" to bring up AfterStep. What I need to know now is how do I make the vnc connection secure via SSH. Anyone knows how to do this ? I remember reading about this from a url on the web. I can't find that url anymore. Anyway I did not really understand it properly. Also do I need to install this x0rfbserver. I have downloaded it on the live server and can't even work our how to install this. The INSTALL file just says type "make depend", then "make". "make depend" is already giving me error message "No rules for make" ?
