I see... You're concerned about them accessing the session with a password. Look at the file 'rfm_fbs.1.0.html' that comes with the rfb source. It describes the "(Remote Framebuffer Macro) file format version 1.0", a human readable scripting language used to send messages to an RFB Server. It includes the ability to script in the password. Also, why do you care about the security of the password if you are *trying* to publish/broadcast the session? > The ability to shadow sessions on different LTS networks over a WAN link.

I have no idea about whether this would "just work", but if it doesn't, you can always ssh to the remote LTS server (setting up an X-forwarding tunnel with -X) and then run the xrfbviewer/vncviewer there and have its display directed back across the WAN to your desktop. > Doing it via an email with a link (app?), this should be possible, as long as > the firewalls are set up properly, no? I don't see how you expect the email app to just execute a link as a command, but assuming you could do that... Sure. You'd just have to have the command start the viewer pointed at the appropriate session and send the Remote Framebuffer Macro file containing the password info.
