I have been attempting to use VNC through SSH for a few weeks with no results.
Some responses from the list have suggested I should redirect both the 58XX and
59XX ports in order to get it to work but I get the same result. The
instructions in the VNC documentation do not suggest it may be necessary at all
anyway. I think I have to redirect port 59XX is I use the vnc viewer and port
58XX if I want to use the http java viewer. I am not attemting to use both at
this time but would just like to get at least one going.
I try the following on a Linux RH 7.0 workstation:
ssh -L 5910:remote_ip:5901 remote_ip
I get validated by remote_ip (a Mandrake 6.2 workstation)
Then I try on another terminal window:
vncviewer localhost:10
I get a "vncviewer: VNC server closed connection" message locally while I get a
"channel_open_failure: 2: reason 1: bla bla" message on remote_ip.
The command vncviewer remote_ip:1 works fine (but naturrally not encrypted).
Doesn't make much sense to me.
Can anyone help?
Serge.
