I am leaving tomorrow. Whenever someone tries to access my machine through vnc, my machine is giving a pop-up asking if they should be accepted or refused. Since no one will be here to accept, I will not be able to get in. I cannot disable it through the GUI's through the start menu. I disable it there but it does not effect the change. I have spent literally days on man pages and googling Xvnx, vncserver, vncconfig, etc and do not know how to disable it.

I have vncserver running at boot (Not set up by me) and Xvnc shows up when I look at active processes. Actually I set up user vnc on my system, and vncserver :1 goes to user vnc so if anyone gets in my machine they can only mess up vnc and not me. Once in I can su to myself.

My boot log for vncviewer (which I did not set up) are:

Nov 8 23:09:02 localhost runuser: New 'localhost.localdomain:1 (vnc)' desktop is localhost.localdomain:1

The only thing I can find is an option in the man for Xvnc that is for -QueryConnect but I don't know the command for it or how to get it to turn off at boot.

CentOS 4.7


Any help would be very appreciated.

Are you turning on remote control on both desktops? Not using 4.x but System->Preferences->Internet and Network->Remote desktop and check allow others to use and view desktop. If I remember correctly you need to do this for both accounts (user VNC and the user you SU into).
