OSX has a vnc server built in. Go into your sharing prefs and turn Apple Remote Desktop on. It'll pop up a dialog asking for which permissions to give local users. Populate the VNC password field and then a vnc client will be able to connect. And yes you must be running a server to connect, the client is just the viewer.

Hi, all.

I'm trying to set up a Debian box running RealVNC (as server) to a Mac OS X (1
0.4.6) box running Chicken of the VNC.

Everytime I run:

foobar #vncviewer

from the Linux box and enter an IP address, vncviewer aborts. The IP address i s assigned from a ADSL Router/Modem (i.e. Linux has 10.0.0.7, Mac 10.0.0.6 and
the router 10.0.0.138).

If I try to connect Mac -> Linux I get a connection refused on port 5900. I'm
using the password set up in vncpasswd.

A search of the mailing list archives turned up nothing, so any help appreciat
ed.

I'm a little confused.  So the Mac is runnig CotVNC (which is a VIEWER
only), and the Linux box is running vncviewer as well.  Where's the
server?  You have to be running a server like OSXvnc on the Mac, and
you have to run vncserver on the linux box. . .
