Re: [Xen-users] vncviewer configuration problem

["trilok nuwal" <tc.nuwal@xxxxxxxxx>]

When i add vnclisten='10.177.237.101' (This is my machine ip ). 
Then i cant able to start the domain. I am getting this error.

# xm create -c /etc/xen/dom-209
Using config file "/etc/xen/dom-209".
VNC= 1
Started domain Dom-El4
xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory

Could we make this more simple if we can do some configuration in host machine, no password no vnclisten at all.

Thanks,
--Trilok

  Yes.

  Right.  Thats your problem then.

  You could use ssh port-forwarding to forward the connection from the
remote host to the local machine, then connect to that securely as
follows:

  [remote machine]
    xm create ...

  [local machine]
    [setup forward to remote]
    ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 -N username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    [start viewer]
   xvncviewer 127.0.0.1:5900

  (This might be too much complexity; but it is preferable to having
VNC listening on a public-facing machine with no password/firewall/ACL
in the way ..)
