RE: Using VNC in full Desktop Mode (CDE)
Steve, that worked great with minor modifications for AIX. One more obstacle is getting the session to REQUEST the login ID and password. Right now it is logging me directly into the XSESSION. Any way to have the session startup at the login screen? And not automatically login? Looking for extra security? If this works we plan on purchasing the Enterprise version...

Using VNC in full Desktop Mode (CDE)
Hello, I am trying to setup VNC in my new company to possibly replace Exceed. The requirements are simply to provide the FULL Desktop access to servers so users can login and use the X environment to install java APPS and other which require GUIs to display on the desktop/pc. My environment consist mainly of NEW IBM UNIX 5.3 server, some HP and some SUN. Does anyone know which version of VNC can allow me to do this? And on what platform it works best? I was evaluating the FREE version and also the version that comes with AIX5.3 (I believe it's version 3.3), but I've not been able to get either to work properly in displaying my "full desktop". Any documents or websites I can check on this type of setup?
