Hi Kouyate,

I should use rdesktop for that.

Cheers,

Install VNC on the server and set a password.
Also set VNC to lock the server on disconnect.
Possbily disable serving the java client.
Review the access control list and adjust.
Review other settings.
Start the VNC as a service.

Use rdesktop or vnc to connect from linux.

Shalom,

We've used realvnc(see above). Its part of our standard environment for remote clusters because cluster management requires a GUI.

We run it as part of xinetd with a passwd file.

It works for Windows, HP-UX, Linux. A nice tool to standardize on.
