Seen the thread about not being able to bind to specif interface in NT, but afaik the unix version has this feature correct?
TightVNC (and VNC) have an option to either bind to all interfaces (default), bind to a specfic interface (-interface ip_address) or bind to localhost interface (-localhost). Startup and binding to all interfaces does work and can get a connection (but a security risk since once interfaces is on an untrusted network). The -localhost and -interface [ip address] options are not working. I trying run as both root and user, which neither work. This is working: `vncserver :1 -name "[Hydra]" -depth 24 -geometry 1024x768 -alwaysshared` bash-2.05a$ cat hydra\:1.log 06/03/02 03:39:25 Xvnc version 3.3.3r2+tight1.2.2 06/03/02 03:39:25 Copyright (C) AT&T Laboratories Cambridge. 06/03/02 03:39:25 All Rights Reserved. 06/03/02 03:39:25 See http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc for information on VNC 06/03/02 03:39:25 Desktop name '[Hydra]' (hydra:1) 06/03/02 03:39:25 Protocol version supported 3.3 06/03/02 03:39:25 Listening for VNC connections on TCP port 5901 06/03/02 03:39:25 Listening for HTTP connections on TCP port 5801 06/03/02 03:39:25 URL http://hydra:5801 xrdb: No such file or directory xrdb: can't open file '/home/bud/.Xresources' BScreen::BScreen: managing screen 0 using visual 0x22, depth 24 These next three are not working: (localhost option) `vncserver :1 -name "[Hydra]" -depth 24 -geometry 1024x768 -alwaysshared -localhost` bash-2.05a$ cat hydra\:1.log 06/03/02 03:46:12 Xvnc version 3.3.3r2+tight1.2.2 06/03/02 03:46:12 Copyright (C) AT&T Laboratories Cambridge. 06/03/02 03:46:12 All Rights Reserved. 06/03/02 03:46:12 See http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc for information on VNC 06/03/02 03:46:12 Desktop name '[Hydra]' (hydra:1) 06/03/02 03:46:12 Protocol version supported 3.3 06/03/02 03:46:12 Listening for VNC connections on TCP port 5901 06/03/02 03:46:12 ListenOnTCPPort: Can't assign requested address _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 xrdb: Connection refused xrdb: Can't open display ':1' _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 xsetroot: unable to open display ':1' _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 BaseDisplay::BaseDisplay: connection to X server failed. `vncserver :1 -name "[Hydra]" -depth 24 -geometry 1024x768 -alwaysshared -interface 192.168.17.1` bash-2.05a$ cat hydra\:1.log 06/03/02 03:46:12 Xvnc version 3.3.3r2+tight1.2.2 06/03/02 03:46:12 Copyright (C) AT&T Laboratories Cambridge. 06/03/02 03:46:12 All Rights Reserved. 06/03/02 03:46:12 See http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc for information on VNC 06/03/02 03:46:12 Desktop name '[Hydra]' (hydra:1) 06/03/02 03:46:12 Protocol version supported 3.3 06/03/02 03:46:12 Listening for VNC connections on TCP port 5901 06/03/02 03:46:12 ListenOnTCPPort: Can't assign requested address _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 xrdb: Connection refused xrdb: Can't open display ':1' _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 xsetroot: unable to open display ':1' _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 BaseDisplay::BaseDisplay: connection to X server failed. `vncserver :1 -name "[Hydra]" -depth 24 -geometry 1024x768 -alwaysshared -interface 127.0.0.1` bash-2.05a$ cat hydra\:1.log 06/03/02 03:46:12 Xvnc version 3.3.3r2+tight1.2.2 06/03/02 03:46:12 Copyright (C) AT&T Laboratories Cambridge. 06/03/02 03:46:12 All Rights Reserved. 06/03/02 03:46:12 See http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc for information on VNC 06/03/02 03:46:12 Desktop name '[Hydra]' (hydra:1) 06/03/02 03:46:12 Protocol version supported 3.3 06/03/02 03:46:12 Listening for VNC connections on TCP port 5901 06/03/02 03:46:12 ListenOnTCPPort: Can't assign requested address _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 xrdb: Connection refused xrdb: Can't open display ':1' _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 xsetroot: unable to open display ':1' _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 BaseDisplay::BaseDisplay: connection to X server failed.

It works fine if I don't give it the -locahost or -interface options.
