Broken VNC? - Navrax - 2006-03-15


I'll start ssh

 

/etc/init.d/sshd start

 

Then, from my winbox I'll start PuTTY, load my vnc settings ( The forwarded ports, etc) then I'll open and log into my box via ssh. Yay! BUT, when I open vncviewer on windows, and try and open localhost:1 it just hangs! Normally I would get dialogue to input a password to vnc! :(

ssh -L 5901:localhost:5900 user@vncip




 

nmap shows vnc to be up. However, when I open up vncviewer on my Winbox and try to go to localhost:1, instead of a passwd dialogue I get a message IN TERMINAL everytime I try to vncviewer localhost:1 I get a message saying

 



Code:
channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused




 

Also, when checking my logs I found this.
