New page

= VNC is not a secure protocol =
* So don't use it over an unsecured network, like internet.
* There are methods to secure VNC, one of the neatest is to drive VNC through a SSH tunnel. Will explain this later.

= Pandora as a standalone VNC server =
* As user, launch:
vncserver
* You're prompted to create a password, then prompted again for a view-only password, ie. for an observer-only.
* For security reasons, avoid typing the same as those you created for your Linux accounts.
* Then the vncserver starts and gives you this info:
Log file is /home/user/.vnc/darkstar:1.log
* The :1 means the server run on graphical server :1 . The normal display you use when you're under, ie. Xfce, is :0 .
* You can now connect from outside, using the port 5901. If you run a second server :2, you will connect to it using the port 5902, etc..

= Export your graphical environment, ie. Xfce =
* Type:
x11vnc --forever --display :0
* You can now connect from outside, using the port 5900.

= Pandora as VNC client =
* I just realized i shipped no basic client. Will look at it.
* Anyway, on 13.37, i compiled remmina, which is a pretty advanced VNC client.
* Install remmina + dependencies.
* Investigate for dependencies [http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/network/remmina/ here].
* Download packages [http://slackware.openpandora.org/pandora/index.php?dir=sl4p%2Fsl4p-13.37%2Fpackages%2Fextra here].
