It's a Linux system, and the keys are different from Windows VNC it turns out.
Normally it appears that he should be using the "vncserver" script to start it up. You should change the vncserver launch to: vncserver -localhost to require connections come from localhost only. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenn Mabbutt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday/2002 February 04 10:51 Subject: RE: How can I require ssh? : Use the "LoopbackOnly" registry key, or set the AuthHosts key to : "-:+127.0.0.1".
