Try this: http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/~andre/extern/ixvnc.htm The newest versions of XVnc have the patch built in. Effectively, this allows a XVnc session to be launced via inetd, and upon initial connection you are presented with a [XKG]DM login screen. You can even configure the web component to do the same. And, with some clever SSH tunnels created on bootup, you can encrypt your VNC session. -Matt On Wed, 2003-01-29 at 21:27, Roger Merritt wrote: > I've installed vnc from the ports and it works fine, but it's annoying to > have to log on to my server and start the vncserver every time I want to > connect from my desktop PC.
