VNC No Go.

[swestrup]

I can now VNC through an SSH from my machine to webigail, just as far as it asking me for a VNC session password. Nothing I try at this point works. Even logging in via ssh and setting using vncpasswd to set a password hasn't helped. No idea what I'm doing wrong.

Silly!

Did you start a VNC server for yourself on webigail first? Do so and remember the number and then connect to that from your own machine.

Oops! I just had the _sps_ explain this to me. I had thought our setup of ssh under Xinetd had ensured that new vncservers were spawned on demand. My bad.
