Hi All...

I use

ssh -f -L 5901:localhost:5900 myserver sleep 30

from a Windows 2000 client (or Windows NT 4), so that the port will 
automatically close down when I'm done. And the -f lets me put the launch of 
the tunnel and the vncviewer in the same script file.

When you do a "loopback" connection on your server...have you modified the 
registry to allow this? The value is called ConnectPriority in the WINVNC3 
key I think.

Thanks,

...Karl
