Then have your clients run the vncviewer just as you like. I've read on the list about a viewer that runs from a M$Dos prompt on a 486.


I have still troubles with the setup. I use SuSE Linux and followed all instructions from above, but some parts are missing in the explanation: 
 
The core of the info at the website is for redhat. The only differences for SuSE should be file locations like the path to Xvnc. Currently I don't have SuSE available to check for details. 

1. if I use vncviewer it asks for the server and the display number. Which display number is it? 
 
If you read the instruction and know what you're doing, read the /etc/services file and find a combination of portnumber and vncserver geometry. The display number to use with vncviewer is (portnumber - 5900) hence: To use the vncserver at port 5950 (640x480 with 256 colors): vncviewer machine:50. For 800x600 at 16 bits colors: vncviewer machine:61. For 1600x1200 with 32 bits colors: vncviewer machine:5984.

2. I start Xvnc with the script that comes with it vncserver. It seems that this one already defined the screen password (as I use it right now) 
This vncserver script starts an Xvnc at portnumbers from 5900 + displaynumber. where 5800+display must be free for the webserver and 6000+display must be free for the X11 communication.
do NOT use the script as a replacement for Xvnc in the configuration!

3. Now I get this ugly wm screen, with the setup from above I think I will get kde, right??? 
If you followed the entire setup at the website, then you should get a vnc-password free vncserver (no need to give an vncviewer password) and in there a login screen as if at the local display. Somehow the uggly screen tells me you used the vncserver script to start this particular Xvnc.
