I have one lingering question on the VNC aspect with virtual displays:
I found I had to create a separate linux user to get this to work.
Using the 'rd' account to create a virtual display for vnc caused me
issues with autostart applications since user 'rd' automatically logs in
locally on boot.
The question: Do I need to do anything permissions wise to this new
Linux user (such as add them to a specific group) to remotely use the
log tools/clock/events/etc? I have tried a few things, and so far all
seem to work, I just don't want any "gotchas" when I go live.
Thanks,
-Alan

Hi,
With some of the recent discussion around using x11vnc server and
a VNC
client to access Rivendell applications from a Windows box, it got me
thinking - is this the best way to do this, or is it better to run
an X
server on the Windows system such as Xming and just log in /
launch the
needed app?
I've done both and I don't know that I have a real preference either
way. The only thing I've run into with running the X server on
Windows
is that all the apps have to be launched in the same display for drag
and drop to work, but that is easy enough to do.
Do others have a preference one way or the other?
Over a lan, take you pick.
I do something similar in a pure linux environment when I ssh to a
rivendell box with xforwarding enabled.
ssh -X rd@someaddress
On a slower network, I find vnc to be "faster"... For a simple rdadmin
check / change, for a quick peek at a log in rdlogedit, it works.
I would guess on a slower network you might find similar results.
all the best,
drew
Just curious.
