vncserver listens on 5901 That would be vncviewer poweredge.tmedgroup.com:2 supply the password for the server and boom. Instant INSECURE access.
but why..... when you have a secure way of running graphical applications tunneled through ssh. ssh -Xf [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/bin/k3b You only need 1 hole (port 22) through the firewall with that command, pure ssh baby.
