Hi

I have managed to channel VNC through SSH and use only port 22 for this. I would like to FORCE users to only log into VNC through SSH and not go in through port 5901 directly. Is there any way of doing this without blocking port 5901 through a firewall?

In other words, is there any configuration in VNC which can prevent users from logging in directly

Any help greatly appreciated
 
Thanks for the sites... unfortunately, these only really show how to set up ssh with VNC, which I've done successfully. I can't seem to find any details of FORCING the user to use ssh. They can go into port 5901 directly... I really want to prevent this
