Re: [PLUG] x11vnc


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

I was just using "x11vnc" to connect to an existing X session. Does
anyone have any recommendations of how to make it more secure or other
utilities that might be better?
