Hi!
It is my first time using VNC, not really sure how to use it..
I followed the document "how to VNC into the SCC Data Center from Windows", and changed to gnome desktop as said in the xstartup file.
when I ran the VNC viewer, it said:
"too many security failures"
And I checked the passwd file in the /.vnc directory. It doesnot appear to be the one I typed in. Some encryption here?
What do I miss?

Are you coming in from Windows? What are you using for a vnc client. We use realvnc or ultrvncviewer. There is no need to install a vnc server on your Windows desktop. You can change your password (just the vnc password) on the MCPC with the command vncpasswd.
My xstartup looks like this ...
tekubasx@marc101:~/.vnc$ cat xstartup
#!/bin/sh
gnome-session
vncserver -kill :1
Permissions are ....
tekubasx@marc101:~/.vnc$ ls -l xstartup
-rwxr-xr-x 1 tekubasx tekubasx 44 2011-02-01 18:40 xstartup
tekubasx@marc101:~/.vnc$ ls -l passwd
-rw------- 1 tekubasx tekubasx 8 2011-02-01 18:37 passwd
tekubasx@marc101:~/.vnc$
this looks useful 
I am using realVNC on windows, but seems the server is not responding at the moment. not sure what happened..
I'll try to vnc in myself. Please log off of marc036. I may kill your vnc session in the process.
marc036 seems to be down now. We'll check and bring it back up.
now everything works! not really sure what happened..
the speed is very acceptable using sccGui with VNC
sorry, marc036 is down again. Could you help us restore it?
Thanks! Liang
Best to file a bug under Marc Adminstration Needed. I'll forward your request, but it's quicker to use Bugzilla yourself.

Oh, this was a bug. This used to happen. There's a configuration fix that I've forgotten. Does anyone remember? I can find it in my notes. We discovered this even before we set up Bugzilla ... otherwise it would be in there.
Hi,
Still waiting for the configuration fix.
Thanks.
I was hoping someone else would remember. I filed this as bug 236.http://marcbug.scc-dc.com/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=236
Please make yourself a Bugzilla account and track it there.
I can VNC into DC machines without this problem. What we can do is login as you, (temporarily change your pw), watch what happens and adjust your configuration as appropriate. I see your account on marc022. Is that correct. Not all the cores are booted and your login is from May 18. Please pick a time (I'm PDT, West Coast, USA) and post it in the bug's comment and I'll reboot your system and check out VNC for you.
I marked the bug FIXED. I did see the crash when I invoked sccGui under Konsole but not when I invoked in under Terminal. Please look at the bug for details.
