On a server I sat a few years ago, I remember being able to configure TIgerVNC to automatically map a users desktop once that user has logged in, instead of requiring the user to use ssh, fire vncserver, then connect with vnc. This new server has TightVNC on it.. I have modified the various user's ".vnc/xstartup" file....and I can log in after I ssh and start the vnc server..... However, I would like to specify some global settings in the /etc/tightvncserver.conf file. Unfortunately the man page has nothing on it. The TightVNC website has no docs on it...seems thay are now a Windows package. Google and Yahoo searches aren't turning up specifics about this file and how to use it. Neither does the man pagees. Question #1: Am I using the wrong VNC platform for what I am trying to do? If so, is it TigerVNC the goto or something else? Question #2: Can someone please point me to a resource so I can read about how to use the /etc/tightvncserver.conf file? If the answer is to use TigerVNC....I have already found the documentation I need. I am preferring TightVNC because all the FreeBSD docs I have read so far prefer it over TigerVNC...But I don't care which I use...... Help would be appreciated. Sincerely and respectfully, Dave
