Hi all, PAM: Has anyone done any work on PAM authentication for VNC?
I am currently using Xvnc :2 -broadcast ... to connect to my xdmcp server and log in. The problem comes when the link goes down, there is a logged in session available to anyone. Options: 1) have the vncpasswd use pam and skip xdm for authentication 2) have the session close when the connection drops, not ideal but solves the problem. Portmapper: A portmapper type system would be handy so a request is always served, say port 5900, which then starts an Xvnc on a new port that is free, say port 5901 - 5910 for example then asks the client to reconnect. the 5900 listener could do the auth also. Anyone who has used MS TS / RDP will be familiar with this behaviour. The client would need changes to accommodate this but the server will need little alteration as a helper could be created to do auth and then set up a new Xvnc running on the negotiated port and set up a session / one time password. These things may have been discussed before but i couldnt find much reference to them in the archive Comments please.
