Now I've started the vncserver up by default, listening on *all" available interfaces, but when I do the SSH tunelling I get asked to enter a password at the VNC viewer? Since I've already ssh tunelling into the vnc server, why at the vnc viewer it's asking me for a password? Sometime ago, I believe I did this by starting vnc server: vncserver -localhost Then did the SSH tunelling through vnc traffic, and it did not ask me for a password at the vncviewer.
