I can run vncserver, and test locally with vncviewer 10.3.1.194:1. From a port forward configured SSH gateway, I can connect with vncviewer to an associates box, but connection to my box times out. I think there's a problem with SSH keys.
I was advised to upgrade to 4.2.1, which I did in /usr/local/bin/. I got 'libstdc ... No such file or directory' so did yum install libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3. Then I got '/usr/bin/xsetroot: unable to open display' so uncommented the font path section in vncserver and changed 'lib' to 'shared' in the paths. I didn't know how to check that the patches were applied, but am not so concerned with VNC version as I am with the connection time out problem. I use Eclipse IDE and was given an eclipse font style file (.gtkrc-2.0) to add to my home directory, so thought maybe I can't remote VNC because the remote VNC server can't render the font. With my upgraded VNC working, I can again connect locally with vncviewer, but not from the SSH gateway. I tried it without Eclipse running, but makes no difference. I don't see the connection attempt in the vncserver log. Where can I get more info? What log on the SSH gateway can I look at. There's no VNC log on the gateway, should there be? I can't view logs in /root/.vnc/. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Hooper Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 5:27 AM To: vnc-list@realvnc.com Subject: Re: Connection not allowed to own service freedesktop due to security policies evets dranem wrote: > maybe you could try yum libstdc++ ???? > More than a little secure ...... > You need to find out from someone at fedora if they fixed the 411 > rremote access bug; which is ENTIRELY NASTY IF EXPLOITED [the bad guys will > own your machine(s)] then you won't have to update > but.......................
