With a stock vnc installation, there is no way to do this that I am aware of. I am curious - are you running a Windows vnc server, where all participants see the same remote desktop? It's my understanding that with a *nix vnc server, each client gets their own desktop. If you are running a Windows server, in the many/all active user cases, do you want different participants' mouse and key strokes to be combined by the vnc server? Or do you want one participant to control the server at a time? I ask because I am a graduate student doing research in this area. As a part of the research, I have been modifying the Windows vnc 3.3.7 server and client to support multiple clients, but only with one client in control at a time. The other clients can observe, ask for control, and get it, in a manner similar to Microsoft NetMeeting. andrew. Andrew Chan M.Sc.
