2.1. Controlled Computer Setup 1. Make sure the tightvnc-server package is installed on the remote machine. 2. Connect to the remote machine using ssh. 3. If it’s not already running, start the VNC server by executing vncserver in a console. If this is the first time vncserver is run on the system with that user account, then you have to enter the password clients will have to use to connect and confirm it. The system informs you which display number clients have to use. Run vncserver -kill
ISPLAY_NUMBER when you no longer need the VNC server. Then connect as a client to control the remote machine (see Section 2.2, Controlling Computer Setup [343]). For the machine that will act as the controlled (server) computer, select the Allow control of my machine (linux server) option. Fill the Set Password field. This is mandatory or Rfbdrake will complain. Please bear in mind that this password is not related to the user’s local/remote account password in any way. Figure 24.1. Server Options
