How to vnc from XP to Suse Linux
- Thread starter jakess
- Start date
What SuSE version?
If you are using SuSE 10 edit [tt]/etc/xinetd.d/vnc[/tt] to your liking.
The file has everthing ready to go, just change
[tt]disable = yes[/tt]
to
[tt]disable = no[/tt]
on the section you want to use then issue to following as root
[tt]rcxinetd restart[/tt]
Issue [tt]netstat -nap | grep xinetd[/tt] and look for a line similar to this
[tt]tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5901 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6422/xinetd
[/tt]
Then point the viewer to <hostname or IP of the server>:1 and you're off.

Or run vncpasswd, create a pw for it, then run vncserver on Suse. Next run the viewer from Xp and use the ip or hostname of the server :1 (that's colon 1) If it's the only vncserver running, 1 will be the correct number. If you don't kill vncserver correctly or run it again, you'll need to use 2 as so. Run vncviewer -> 192.168.1.21:2.
To kill the server, you'll need to run "vncserver -kill :1" (or 2, or 3, etc.). Of course, once you create a password for vnc, you can run vnc in the startup init script.

VNC is unencrypted, I suggest to use PuTTY to tunnel port 5901 an then connect to localhost:5901:x using VNC client on your windoz machine.
here is what you do
create a new putty session to the linux server you want to connect to, give it a name and save it.
Load it and then click on "tunnels"
Add a new one, inserting 5901 as a source port and destination like
yourlinuxserver.yourdomain.com:5901
where yourlinuxserver is the full name of the linux machine.
(the one you find in your /etc/hosts file)
If all is succesful you should be able to open a connection using PuTTY, launch VNC server if it is not started yet, then open VNC client to localhost:5901:x (where x is the display number).
