PS, yes that was blastwave's Xvnc server (and vncviewer); my notes say that (with the appropriate vncviewer version) someone sitting on a Sun should be able to access a Mac remotely with a command line like:
/opt/csw/bin/vncviewer -fullscreen -encodings Hextile my-mac:0 As I said before, "Chicken of the VNC" is a good VNC client for the Mac to use to access a Sun's desktop remotely. And "Vine Server" aka OSXVNC is what I use on the Mac if I want to access it remotely from anything else - it's more compatible than the native server, and supports much better compression techniques. I attached a copy of my /etc/avahi/services/rfb.service file; it assumes that Xvnc is running on the OpenSolaris box as server 6. Change the last one or two digits of the port number as needed. I just checked - with that in place (may need to restart the svc:/network/dns/multicast:default and svc:/system/avahi-bridge-dsd:default services after put the file into place), I _can_ use "Screen Sharing" via Finder to access my Sun (running Blastwave's Xvnc); but there's a popup that warns that the remote server does not support keystroke encryption. There may be a way around that too, but I haven't played around that far yet. Remember, all that does is _advertise_ the service - you still have to figure out how to run Xvnc on the Sun. I'm running SXCE and dtlogin, but most people running OpenSolaris are probably using gdm, so I can't tell you how to set up Xvnc to run as if it were offering just another login session with that different setup. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
