hi guys, i have a SLES 9 server that i'd like to set up to share a local desktop session over VNC. previously i was using the "Remote Administration" option from within yast, which basically fires off a new xserver managed by vnc. however, what i really want is to have local == remote, like one typically sees when vnc is installed on windows boxen. the best solution i could find was to use krfb (kde's remote desktop utility), which theoretically should be perfect for my needs. however, what i'm guessing is a bug in the installed version of kde (a dusty old 3.2.1) causes the kded daemon launching krfb to crash after the first connection, preventing further such access. i have a workaround in place (which continuously respawns kded when necessary, yuk!), but i can't help but think that there just has to be a Better Way To Do This(TM). My thought is that it's perhaps possible to have the local desktop start as a child process of something like Xvnc, and not use kde's utility at all. however this also isn't as straightforward because the user needs to be able to be automatically logged in locally (but hopefully require a password remotely). does anyone have a suggestion that does not require upgrading SLES or mishmashing rpms? i'd be grateful to hear it if so :) thanks, sean Attachment:
