Dear VNC-list,
I have the fink tightvnc running on Mac OS X. When I try the command:
vncserver :1 -localhost
I get this message: Couldn't start Xvnc; trying default font path. Please set correct fontPath in the vncserver script. Couldn't start Xvnc process.
I have tried a couple of different vncserver fontpaths, but without success.
I can run the -localhost option fine on regular vnc, the problem seems only to arise with tightvnc. I prefer tightvnc because it seems to give a faster server, but I'd like to run the secure -localhost option if possible.
I also prefer the tightvnc encoding, and I use Mac OS X. I have had great success with OSXvnc from <http://www.redstonesoftware.com/osxvnc>. I did have trouble with the -localhost option (I run the server from the command line: /Applications/Utilities/OSXvnc.app/Contents/MacOS/OSXvnc-server -rfbport 5901 -allowsleep -swapButtons -desktop MacOSX -rfbauth ~/Library/Application\ Support/OSXvnc/osxvnc-passwd 2>> ~/Library/Logs/OSXvnc.log &), though I haven't tried since version 1.1 (it's currently at 1.3). If you don't get the -localhost option to work, you can set ipfw to block access to the port from non-localhost machines. That has worked for me.
