Connecting to XP box with ms-logon feature from a Linux box

Post by whitetornado »

Hi,
I search google extensively on that and could not find any way to do that - there are posts stating that it cannot be done. However, I did find a post stating that a patch exist that enable VNC viewer in Linux to do it. Here is the post in question:


I've made a patch (iwfm) which supports the ms-logon feature found in the
ultravnc server. With this patch you can use vncviewer (linux) to connect to
such a server and it will ask your for a username and password if ms-logon has
been enabled on the server.

You can also specify the username from commandline
(vncviewer -user [username] [host])

The patch can be found on http://bofh.be/patches/vncviewer-mslogon.patch


Now, I am not able to find anything on what to do with this patch, how to apply it or to what folder in VNC. Is this like a kernel patch, if so, to what area of VNC I would apply this?

There is no info anywhere on the post, nor on the website from where the patch can be retreive.

Any idea or suggestions?

Thanks

this patch is apparently against the VNC 3.3.7 Unix sources.
UltraVNC does not provide a Unix server or viewer.
There are other VNC flavors that do.
See http://www.realvnc.com/dist/vnc-3.3.7-unixsrc.tar.gz

Thanks Marscha, for the reply and the link. :-)

I figure I would just use the standard patch command to the dir in which I untarred that file then.

So you know, my problem was how could I managed to keep my VNC connexions to remote winxp computers which had to have multiple simulataneous remote sessions open on them.

Cheers!
