That rings a bell: You run vncviewer at your desktop machine. Your clients run vncserver so you can vncview their session. Now you want them in control. The easy way: do NOT start vncserver as a service on their machines. Once you need access on their behalf, they need to start vncserver after which you can take a view. Make it easy for them, put a shortcut to the vncserver binary on their desktop or in their menus. Optionally populate it with a proper configuration file. At the moment they find you should not peek anymore, they kill all clients or just the server. You don't want the users to start vncserver but keep the vncservice on-air and give them some control to the access? Point them to the properties of the vncserver. In there they can enable and disable a lot. Better not. CBee. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
