

To set up a persistent VNC server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4:

Set a password using vncpasswd

Edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers

Enable the service with chkconfig vncserver on

Start the service with service vncserver start

Edit /home/username/.vnc/xstartup if you want a more advanced session than just twm

and an xterm.

C. For Macintosh servers (and clients):

OSXvnc http://www.redstonesoftware.com/vnc.html is a robust, full-featured VNC server for Mac

OS X that allows any VNC client to remotely view and/or control the Mac OS X machine. OSXvnc is

supported by Redstone Software.

D. Most other operating systems (Solaris, HPUX, PalmOS etc) either come with VNC bundled, or have

third-party VNC software that you can download.

6.9.2 Install, configure and connect the VNC Viewer
VNC is truly platform-independent so a VNC Viewer on any operating system can connect to a VNC

Server on any other operating system. There are Viewers (and Servers) from a wide selection of sources

(for example, UltraVNC TightVNC or RealVNC) for most operating systems. There are also a wealth of

Java viewers available so that any desktop can be viewed with any Java-capable browser

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VNC lists many of the VNC Viewers sources).



Install the VNC Viewer software and set it up for the appropriate speed connection.

Note

To make VNC faster, when you set up the Viewer:



Set encoding to ZRLE (if you have a fast enough CPU).



Decrease color level (e.g. 64 bit).



Disable the background transmission on the Server or use a plain wallpaper.

(Refer to http://doc.uvnc.com for detailed configuration instructions)
