x11VNC

[f1rem0th]

I'm having a little trouble setting up x11VNC. I managed to get the process running, and it works (I can connect to myself)
However, even after reading guides.. i ahve no idea how to set up a password for it, and am unsure how to connect to it via the internet and not a pc on my network. (want to do it from college)

any help is appreciated.

OK I know how to use it now, but how do I set up a password?

Re: x11VNC

try running it with:

-passwd XXXXX

that would setup a simple password.... not as secure as other options, but a good way to start...

or, you can run

$x11vnc -storepasswd

and it will ask for a password to save to .vnc/passwd

also, if i understand correctly, after this, you need to run it with the -usepw option

hope this helps...
