I really need it to be the lft session Sad

I know that this can be done on a linux box so I was hoping that it would be posible on a AIX box as well.
anybody ?

It is possible to use vnc_server software. There is an installable package available on the BULL free software site that we use in the education center in the Netherlands. But this is NOT the lft session (i.e. the session running on the physical graphics card) - so you are not taking over an existing session.

However, vnc_server does make it possible to perform graphics based tasks as if you are working from the physical system, just on a alternate display.

If a user also uses VNC software to connect to AIX, then vnc_server will display that vnc session to multiple clients. Just both need to connect to the same VNC session port number (e.g. hostname:12).

VNC on AIX 5.3

« on: June 03, 2008, 06:47:27 PM »

Hi all
I'm trying to setup a VNC server that shows the real display on a AIX 5.3 host, so that an admin can connect to the actual display that a user on a workstation sees. Can this be done ?
