[CentOS] vncviewer and IPv6
I have a host that I have been accessing with vncviewer via its fqdn that had only an IPv4 A record. I just added a IPv6 record, and vncviewer via fqdn stopped working. But worked when I provided the IPv4 address instead. It LOOKS like vncviewer is trying the IPv6 address, eventhough all documentation indicates that it does not support IPv6. Definitely my server is only listening on the IPv4 interface. SSH has a nice -4 option to force using IPv4; there is no similar option for vncviewer. Does anyone have any idea on how to enforce IPv4 usage for IPv6-dead vncviewer? Yes, I DO want IPv6 on this server ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

When you start the vncserver, you specify which display you want it to bind, or it will tell you which one it used. That is the number you have to use on your vncviewer command. Probably something like: $ vncviewer gate.foo.com:2 -via gate.foo.com The 5599 port is probably the local port chosen by the -via option, it will probably look up a free port in that range. Let us know how that works for you. HTH, Filipe ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

So I kind of gave up, I set up a SSH port forwarding and ran through that. All this to make a change to my firewall rules. My firewall would not accept an external admin connection, so I had to get an internal Firefox client running on this system.

[CentOS] vncviewer via gateway option question
the man page for vncviewer presents the -via gateway option to use ssh through a gateway. I understand if I want a secure vnc connection to server.foo.com I can use the command: vncviewer localhost -via server.foo.com But I have moved my SSHD services from port 22 to port n. So according to the man pages, I need an environment variable of VNC_VIA_CMD and override the default command with: /usr/bin/ssh -p 7722 -f -L "$L":"$H":"$R" "$G" sleep 20 where 7722 is the port for sshd. How do I set up this environment variable on my notebook. Would I modify my .bash_profile file, and is the format of the added line: VNC_VIA_CMD=/usr/bin/ssh -p 7722 -f -L "$L":"$H":"$R" "$G" sleep 20 ??? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If you press F8 in the vncviewer window, a menu will come up ... one of the options on that menu is to select alt or ctrl with a check mark. Shift-F10 seems to pass through OK for me using the CentOS-5 VNC Viewer without any problems though and not need any help.

Just a thought, but your window manager may be intercepting the keystroke. If it is, disable it and try vnc again.

[CentOS] vncviewer package wit hcentos 5
I have xkeybindings running just fine on centos 5. I have vncviewer running in full screen mode showing another PC. When vncviewer is running is running it seems to override my xkeybindings. Is there a way to tell vncviewer to not bind to any keys?? The only keys I am binding is on the Keypad 3,4,6, 9 and Enter. Nothing that vncviewer uses anyway. How can I still have my xkeybindings active with vncviewer running? Thanks, Jerry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
