That's not only for the 'console' session as you refer to. It is to all vnc servers, if they are not configured not to (e.g. -once and/or -inetd and/or -nevershared options used) > > You'll note the quotes around "Console" since in Unix/Linux there is > nothing special about the "Concole" session, other than it is > physically > connected to a (the only?) local graphic card. It is even worse, most unix servers have a character-termial console. From a unix point of view, console is just the place to dump the boot messages and to give access in single-user mode and all such sysadmin stuff. Take a look at /dev/console, it is a character device. Take a look at the -C option to xterm. > > > On Tue, 2003-02-25 at 12:28, "Beerse, Corni" wrote: > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: Ashutosh Dutta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > I just downloaded 3.3.6 VNC for Linux.
