Greetings from member BVeale. I would like to recommend an addition to the VNC server Wiki page located here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server I would recommend adding a reference to this blog post from "Code Ghar": http://codeghar.wordpress.com/2009/06/11/remote-login-with-gdm-and-vnc-on-fedora-11/ It could be a summary of the steps given in this post, or just a link to the page, perhaps titled "Setting up remote login with VNC." It could be added at the end of the page, as section 7. As a newcomer to CEntOS, I found it frustrating to properly set up VNC as I didn't realize the instructions given in the Wiki entry weren't designed with remote login in mind -- they seem to be more for screen sharing. Now that I have realized the intent of the instructions, I believe users would benefit if an addition covering remote login was added to the Wiki entry.

If you'd like to give me access to edit the page, I'd be glad to incorporate the instructions from the Code Ghar page into the Wiki page. It could be chapter 7. ------------------------------ From: pjwelsh <pjwelsh at gmail.com> A heading change could help in at least one of the sections in order to be more clear... But there is "To allow all users login screen access..." info in the existing VNC-Server page that is still more simple than the remote-login-with-gdm-and-vnc-on-fedora-11 page. --> Yes, they may be simpler, but those instructions don't allow for remote log-in -- they are only for controlling the screen of an already logged-in user. At least, that is how they worked for me. FWIW I followed the instructions completely. As I mentioned, I believe CEntOS users would appreciate a method of setting up VNC to allow for remote log-in. In my opinion, the method on the Code Ghar blog really isn't more complicated than the other methods given. In fact, I think it's a lot easier than the vnc-ltsp-config method if you take into account the work involved configuring the EPEL repository for yum, with priorities etc. (Okay, I might be a bit anal in using that approach, but I _am_ a newbie...)
