I'm having problems figuring out tigervnc. x11vnc uses the currently
existing X display/session. The only way I can even start a Tigervnc
session on the remote machine (dev3) is to shut down all X sessions and
execute "tigervncserver -SecurityTypes None -xdisplaydefaults :0" at the
text console. It responds...

Please be aware that you are exposing your VNC server to all users on the
local machine. These users can access your server without authentication!

New Xtigervnc server 'dev3.waltdnes.org:0 (waltdnes)' on port 5900 for
display :0.
Use xtigervncviewer -SecurityTypes None :0 to connect to the VNC server.
=========================================================================

Then I go to the client and execute...
"vncviewer −SecurityTypes None dev3:0" and it responds...

What am I missing? This worked with x11vnc.
