Hi,
What I am doing is, I have a backup system which is a collection of parts sitting on a shelf, there will be no monitor or keyboard connected and a usb mouse that I can connect as needed, as it stands now without a monitor it won't start x just a login prompt, which is no real biggie I have the drives mounted on my main system for backing up, my plan was to use krdc to look at the desktop every now and then when needed, but since x won't start krdc can't connect, so I tried tightvnc server, I can ssh in and start the vnc server, and I can connect to it locally, but when I try to connect from my main system with
or
it wont accept the passwords, looking at the auth.log it says authentication failure, so I'm not sure it's even getting to the vnc server, as there is no record of a failed login in the vnc log, maybe I need to add something to my hosts.allow list.
