Firstly, I am a complete ignoramus with VNC. In fact, I just got my new laptop dual booted w/Enterprise Linux and XP and was fiddling around with vncviewer under linux. I am running KDE and I do not know what version of VNC the linux installation comes with, although it should be the latest linux kernel.
I didnt really know what I was doing and now I am encountering some strange "features" My hostname was somehow changed to username-flasher-efpc and all my kde windows are now labeled username-flasher-efpc After alot of searching I discovered some files prefixed with flasher in my .vnc directory. What is flasher??? I cant find any docs on the web that mention it. I thought perhaps I had left a vncserver process running but there are no processes involving vnc listed when I do a ps and I also tried vncserver -kill :1 to no avail. I'm worried now that I might have been hacked, what is going on? (Please explain in simple to terms to this humble ignoramus ;-) Thanks! ================================================================== Dr. Elisha Polomski University of Minnesota Visiting Faculty/Research Associate Department of Astronomy Phone: 612-626-1811 116 Church St SE FAX: 612-626-2029 Minneapolis, MN 55455 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.astro.umn.edu/~elwood ================================================================== _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
