We may have discussed this before, but that seems to be true of most issues on this list! I want to be able to run Xvnc on a Linux box and allow users to connect to it, but I would prefer that they use SSH tunnels from outside the network. I see no way to force them to use SSH tunnels. If I set up VNC for them, they can connect without the tunnel and I can't stop them.
Thus, I would like to know if there is an Xvnc for Linux (or any unix OS) that has encryption built in. Of course, we'd need a viewer that also had encryption built in. That way we could avoid the hassles of setting up the SSH tunnels and would not have to worry if user connections are encrypted.
The normal way to do this is by adding "-localhost" to the vncserver settings, thereby only allowing connections from the local machine (or the end of an ssh tunnel).
Tightvnc intergrates into ssh using "-via <hostname>" which then calls ssh to the <hostname> (or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) with the correct port forwarding to tunnel it.
