[lug] VNC on Linux

[Bonnell, Doug]

Thanks, but I'm running "iXvnc", where the "-inet" option is
specified. Allows spawning Xvnc processes via opened ports in
the 5950-595x range.

It's all mentioned in the VNC documentation, I'm just not certain
how to get the spawned Xvnc process to talk to xdm/kdm/gdm and issue
a login screen.

Well, you have to run the vncserver on the linux box to be able to connect
to
it. As I recall, the command is, simply, vncserver.
