Re: [PLUG] x11vnc

[gyoza@comcast.net]

Thanks.  I actually did that using PuTTY under WinXP.  Very cool.  PuTTY 
represents if as "L5900 host.name:5900" in the GUI.  Then I connected 
using "localhost:5900".

I did figure out how to use a password, but I don't know if the password 
is encrypted without ssh.  I doubt it.  I used "x11vnc -rfbauth 
.vnc/passwd" if I remember correctly, which uses the password I created 
with "vncpasswd".

It feels good to play with things like this again.  heh
