For the first point - if you are using an ssh tunnel to get to the nodes (so password communication is encrypted) you can setup TurboVNC to use the system password for authentication.

The vncserver gets started from the queueing system and so soon as it is running users can connect with their vncviewer. The problem is the very first usage, because they don't get the password prompt from the vncserver command. Instead they should set their vnc password with the vncpasswd command before using turbovnc for the first time. But this doesn't work when there is no ~/.vnc directory yet. Is it possible to make vncpasswd create the ~/.vnc directory if necessary ? - The other problem is with shared sessions with turbovnc. When the vncserver is running with -shared several users can connect to the vncserver without problems but within the shared session each user only sees his own mouse pionter. Each user can see when another one is opening a menue or moving a window but he can not see the otherone's mouse pointer which would be very helpful to explain things. Is it possible to have a "shared mouse" or probably several mouse pointers for each participant in the shared session ?
