You're right on both counts: I didn't understand your environment, and I didn't realize those capabilities were present in WinVNC.
I don't see any such options in Xvnc. You may end up having to hack the viewer, as I did. That has some hidden advantages: If you are planning to distribute the viewer to multiple users, you can simplify things for them by hard-coding the values (or the defaults) that you want them to use, ie: server (hostname or IP address and session number), shared connection, disable mouse & keyboard, full-screen, etc. -Lee Allen > Thanks for responding. In the documentation for WinVNC they have a property for disabling the mouse and keyboard for any new incoming connections. Per the documentation, this is a property for the server. I probably didn't word my e-mail well, but we were hoping that we could do the same thing for VNC sessions set up with a UNIX VNC server. > > John > > At 05:04 PM 11/28/2001 -0500, you wrote: > > > We're running a VNC server on Solaris.
