Another option is to use Stunnel to secure the connection. http://www.stunnel.org/examples/vnc.html That shows how I had set it up for Windows, but basically the same for Linux. I use it with my Red Hat 9 and Fedora machines at school. stunnel.conf file client = no cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem [vnc] accept = 7779 connect = 5979 The pem file goes in the same directory. rc.local has the line to start stunnel stunnel /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf The vncservers file in /etc/sysconfig has the line to start vnc VNCSERVERS="79:userid" You have to activate the service, and if you want more than one port, you use "79:user1 80:user2 ... " The client works for accessing Windows, NT or Linux.
