[olug] VNCSERVER question

Thanks for the reply.

What I have is a RH 8.0 machine set up as my firewall/gateway using
iptables.  Behind it I have a small network with a couple of machines
running RH 9.0.  I want to be able to pull back the desktop from one of the
RH9.0 machines.

This is a little testing environment that I've set up for myself to prepare
for the RHCE.  Normally I walk over to my little lab and work, but it seems
that as soon as I do, my phone rings.  I support field techs, so I have to
be near my phone.  Since I can't seem to do the two items at once, I
thought that it would be nice to pull my work back over to my desk top.

Thanks.

vncserver runs on 5900 + display number.

So if your vncserver is the X display number 1, then it will be on port
5901.  If it's display #2, then port 5902, etc.

I can't give you a firewall rule cause I don't know what type of
firewall :)
