Setting Up Remote Desktop Access Using VNC

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote software application that enables you to view and interact with one computer desktop, the Xvnc server, by using the VNC viewer on another computer desktop. The two computers do not have to be running the same type of operating system. Xvnc provides a guest domain graphical login.

This section describes how you can set up your VNC server to provide a guest graphical login. This section also includes procedures on how you can start VNC manually and at system boot.

Use the vncpasswd command to set the password used to access VNC desktops. The password is stored on the server. For more information, see the vncpasswd(1) man page.
