Hey all,
I know this is probably more suited for a Red Hat forum or an Oracle Forum, but it won't receive as much love and affection on those sort of forums.
I've been given an odd request at work.
We need to set up an xserver display (e.g. startx -display :1 -- :1 vt8 &) with either Gnome or KDE on top of that (e.g. gnome-session -display :1 &) to be viewed by multiple users from their machines. (Many users to one server)
My thoughts are enable VNC and just let them all VNC into that display (local:1).
Restrictions:
* Not sure if we want VNC on our server
* Not giving them remote console privileges
Is there a way to go about this without VNC?
# Side notes:
Something interesting I found I could do through researching this:
On Windows machine, log into server with PuTTY. Have open Reflection X (Or other xserver emulator) then run:
$ export DISPLAY=192.168.5.7:0
$ gnome-session
This isn't the solution to what I need, I just thought I'd share that as I came across that in my research.
Kind regards,
Tarmael.
