Hi guys
Just an annoying problem....
I use VNC for a _lot_ of different purposes.. various customers etc=20
etc...
But  I always use VNC together with SSH, so the entire connection is=20
encrypted...

But when I try to start the "vncserver" with the "-localhost" option=20
always gives me a "connection refused"...
But this only happens on NetBSD... Solaris, HP-UX, Tru64, various Linux=20=

does not have this problem....

Any ideas ?
