That is possible. For unix, there are 2 ways, starting with the vncserver script and strip that down to the bone or just starting at the Xvnc binary and add options until it works. > > I have tried to remove the rfbauth option but the login box is still > displayed - you just don't have to enter a password That's the access controll between vncserver and vncviewer. > > If anyone's interested I am trying to set up Oracle reports using a > vncsession as the DISPLAY setting.

I don't think it is due to the password prompt. The password prompt is to gain access with a viewer to a server. That has noting to do with an application that needs to put its (X11-)windows on a (X11)display. For your problem, I see the next solutions: Start an X11 session without X11 security: add the "-ac" optiosn and don't use the "-auth file" option. This removes all X11 access security, just like `xhost +` does. This should suit your needs. If you need X11 access security, you have to create a decent X11 authentication file and use that file with the "-auth..." option (and don't use the "-ac" option). An other solution on this behalf is start the `vncserver` using the same account as the accout that runs the oracle applications. The first time you need to do this manually, once setup, it can be run from a script. > > If I manage to achieve connection, I would then want to > disable any keyboard > input to add some security to this server. You can leave the rfb access controll in tact. Use the "-viewonly" to disable the keyboard and mouse. I think you'd better twiggle a little with the Xvnc options. For a list, see `Xvnc --help`. You can give those options to the `vncserver` script too. > > Suzanne > World Class Software Solutions. > The information contained in this communication is > confidential and may be > legally privileged.
