Does anyone know how to start vncserver on the *console* of the remote machine? I've had it so I can login and start a few apps, then go off to another machine and see the entire console desktop (i.e. background picture and all), remotely via vncviewer. I forgot how I did it though. Is this possibly achieved by starting the vncserver somehow before the user is prompted to login? It would be cool to have vncserver work in such a way that it would start and supposed the remote machine is sitting on the GUI login screen, the user could then proceed to login as if they were sitting right in front of the unit. I have vncserver starting as a daemon, but doesn't seem to work in this fashion. Ideas?
