Vnc problem with port forwarding

niraj · External Since: Feb 20, 2007 Posts: 4

Hi,
I could not connect to the vnc server through port forwaring . I have
a linux_server (on which sshd server is running) and vnc_server(vnc
server is running)

1. Run the vncserver on the vnc_server(In my case terminal four is
running its list).
2. Configure the linux_server /etc/ssh/sshd_config with "GatewayPorts
yes" then restart the sshd.
3. Configure the vncserver machine for remote listening with
ssh -R 5904:localhost:5900 linux_server .(My vnc_server is running on
the 5904 and i m executing command from the vnc_server )
4. Then i try to connect to the vnc_server with the linux_server .

But this is not working.

TIA
Niraj Kumar

Think you want
ssh -C -g -L 5904:localhost:5900 linux_server

Although distribution setups differ, the Slackware boxes I run do not
need any changes at all to ssh config, but hosts.allow needs to OK
this:
sshd: allowedIP/netmask

It worked on my end .Actually I was making mistake
> ssh -L 5904:localhost:5900 linux_server
it should be ssh -L 5900:localhost:5904 linux_server
