RE:RE: [Xen-users] How does VNC in Xen worked?

Thanks for your explanation.
I'm wondering whether there're any articles or papers discussing the implementation of VNC server in Xen system. I surfed XenWiki but did not find much.

I would wish to do a little development myself if more information avaliable since I'm familiar with vnc infrastructure.

Thank you again for your kindly help.

Warm Regards,
Lucky

It's #2.

Take a look at /etc/xend-config.sxp for allowing guest vnc
to listen on all interfaces by default (normally it's just the
loopback).

Or if you wish to configure it per-guest (more secure) you
will need the vnclisten option set to '0.0.0.0' in the guests'
config files to have them listen on all interfaces.
