I have run vncserver without passwords by just commenting out the parts of the vncserver script that refer to passwords. It runs without errors, and users simply connect through a shortcut to their batch file on a server (the DOS batch file just runs the vncviewer command and connects them to their individual session, then exits the command window). Of course, this is on a closed network where users are sharing machines anyway, so security in this application was not needed.
I know this doesn't get down to your core question of how to make the RFB protocol work the way you want it outside the vncserver script (I'm assuming that's what you're talking about), but it does indeed work on Linux. - Todd -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 11:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Using VNC without authentication Hello! When I look at the RFB-protocol it seems to be possible to run VNC without authentication, i. e. without having to provide a password. Is this possible with Linux, too? (Security doesn't matter at all!) Alternative question: the RFB-protocol says something about DES encryption of the challenge sent by the server using the password. How is this DES encryption exactly done and where can I find e. g. a C function which does this for me in a simple way, like: answer_to_send = vnc_des_function (challenge_sent_by_server, my_passwrd); Regards, Hans _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
