Description Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2010-06-09 00:57:50 UTC

Description of problem:
in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers there is a note as follows
# DO NOT RUN THIS SERVICE if your local area network is
# untrusted!  For a secure way of using VNC, see
# <URL:http://www.uk.research.att.com/archive/vnc/sshvnc.html>.

Should this not rather contain a link to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TigerVNC as that is AFAIK in el6?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tigervnc-1.0.90-0.7.20100115svn3945.el6.src.rpm

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install tigervnc-server
2. edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
3. be aware that VNC is unencrypted and try to do something about it
  
Actual results:
user tries to go to a link that is down

Expected results:
user should be directed to kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-7028 or config file should contain the kbase article content in terse form


Additional info:

Comment 1 Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2010-06-09 01:01:39 UTC

oops, edit fail,

"Should this not rather contain a link ... is AFAIK in el6?"
should obviously read
"...link to fedoraproject.org... if the feature is in el6, but definitely contain a link to a short article showing ssh tunneling, e.g. the kbase one linked below"

Comment 6 Alexander Todorov 2010-08-24 09:35:14 UTC

tigervnc-server-1.0.90-0.10.20100115svn3945.el6.x86_64

/etc/sysconfig/vncservers now reads:

# DO NOT RUN THIS SERVICE if your local area network is
# untrusted!  For a secure way of using VNC, see this URL:
# http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-7028

Comment 7 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-10 21:47:00 UTC

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.

Comment 8 Rehan Khan 2011-01-16 02:50:53 UTC

Hi

That link seems to require a Redhat subscription. Could this be changed for Fedora users that don't necessarily have a Redhat subscription (or at least be different in the Fedora release).

Thanks
