+# Spawning x11vnc here is a really, really dumb idea, as VNC has no way of
using

+# text somewhere, in a place that is actually world-readable.

+# /!\ This is about as dumb as shouting your root password in a room full of
strangers! /!\
+#
+# A much, much better, safer and saner way to handle this is to enable the
+# SSH daemon on the thinclient, supply it with an authorized_keys file
containing
+# a public key, and spawning x11vnc on demand after logging in - binding it to
+# localhost only, and forwarding the port through your SSH connection.
+#
+# In short, run this on your local admin workstation:
+# ssh -t -L 5900:localhost:5900 name_or_ip_of_thinclient 'x11vnc -localhost
-display :0'
+# and while this connection is active, run:
+# vncviewer localhost:0
