And indeed, it's a bit difficult to tell; one of things which, as a 20 year sysadmin, I noticed almost immediately about Tiger's server is that it... how do I put this politely :-)... could use some more connection-level logging. I haven't yet unpacked the source, but given the length of the build instructions, I have a feeling that setting up to where I can generate actual tested patches might take more time than I have free.

I can pcap a session setup, but I'm not sure... does wireshark know RFB well enough to tell me what the session setup actually did, or will I have to pry the packets apart by hand? > I am not trying to hijack this list to promote my own VNC project, but > since TurboVNC was based on TightVNC 1.3.x originally, our server still > has legacy support for CoRRE, so it would be worthwhile to test it and > see if it magically fixes the issue.

See above. :-) I'll try out Turbo, too, sure. I don't suppose anyone is already building it for SuSE 12? :-) > Otherwise, I'm clueless. It was an answer, at least; thanks. I'm sorry I missed it for a couple days; I've been sick. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
