X11VNC at Fedora 8

I have a machine that needs to be access via VNC on the existing X session, x11vnc is not on the default repo of F8, but it can be found at dries repos. So I manually installed it.

here's my config.

1. First, I created a password for authentication.


x11vnc -storepasswd /home/user/.vnc/passwd


2. Now ready to run x11vnc

x11vnc -rfbauth /home/user/.vnc/passwd -display :0 -forever -bg


that's it. I am now able to access via vnc. Of course, make sure iptables allowed you to access it.
