EscsRemote is installed and configured exactly as escsCore1 in most of its services:
- users and groups are imported via NIS yellow pages from escsMaster as described in NIS
- user homes are imported via NFS from escsMaster as in NFS and AUTOMOUNT
- NTP configuration is done as in NTP
2.4.2. VNC Server¶
Two users are defined by default for accessing remptely this machine via VNC: manager and observer. The configuration file is defined as:
[root@escsRemote /]# cat /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
...
VNCSERVERS="1:manager 2:observer"
VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 1440x900 DisconnectClients=0"
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1440x900 DisconnectClients=0 NeverShared=1"
We use system service to run the VNC server and it can be accessed using a VNC viewer on ports 1 and 2 respectively for users manager and observer. Firewall is configured accordingly.
