VNC on SuSE and openSuSE

wanted to have VNC server installed on SUSE10 and openSUSE12
but it looks like both vino and Xvnc doesn't support copy & paste between local and remote...
found x11vnc works out of the box with copy & paste, to have to up running by default after server boots up:

cat /etc/SuSE-release 
openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64)
VERSION = 12.1
CODENAME = Asparagus

- x11vnc is in the repo of openSUSE12
zypper install x11vnc
x11vnc -storepasswd /etc/x11vnc.passwd
- add the following line to rclocal:
/usr/bin/x11vnc -sleepin 30 -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -forever -noncache -noxfixes -noxdamage -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.passwd -display :0 -auth `ps -eaf | grep Xorg | awk {'print $15'}` &


cat /etc/SuSE-release 
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64)
VERSION = 10

- find x11vnc-0.9.2-1.guru.suse101.x86_64.rpm and install it
- add the following line to rclocal:
/usr/bin/x11vnc -sleepin 30 -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -forever -noncache -noxfixes -noxdamage -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.passwd -display :0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth &

Windows Server 2008R2 CTRL-ALT-DEL doesn't work for VNC


So MS decided to disable software emulation of CTRL-ALT-DEL in Windows Server 2008R2, guess it propose some more vulnerability to Windows.. it caused some grief when using VNC viewer..

1. run -> gpedit.msc

2. Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows components -> Windows Logon Options -> "Disable or enable software Secure Attention Sequence".

3. Change the following:
Enabled
Services and Ease of Access applications
