Has anyone run into this issue before? Running ultra vnc on an XP
machine and if I connect to this machine on port 5900, I get prompted
for the password, and when I enter it, the machine reboots.
Anyone else ever see this? If so, any ideas how to make this ‘feature’
stop?

fdisk
Enable telnet, login and watch what happens (there must be some logs
somewhere)?
No logs on the local machine?
Hardware fault maybe, faulty ram, network card?

My first guess is a Video Card driver issue.
Try changing to a Generic Windows Video Driver and see what happens.
If it helps, troubleshoot from there…

These thoughts may not be shared by either Novell or any rational human.
Looks like the settings (under admin properties) were set to log the
user off after the vnc user disconnected…sigh.
If I could only get proper info from my user support people, I was told
it was rebooting instead of logging off.

Anyone else run into another weird issue we’re seeing here? Running a
64 bit version of vnc on our windows 7 boxes. Out of the blue on some
machines, some settings get changed.
Usually it’s the vnc password as well as the viewer inputs get
disabled. Like I said, these just up and happen, not really sure why.
The VAST majority of my users don’t know where or how to change any vnc
settings, and the IT staff is not doing it as they are the ones
affected by it.
Any ideas on this one?

Hi
fdisk 
Sure the end users aren’t rolling back to a previous system image when
things go funny? This would cause the changes. Maybe make your changes
then save the image thing that windows does um restore point that’s
it…

I’m quite sure they’re not rolling back to a restore point as we have
that disabled.

Hi
Maybe this is it, make sure it’s run as administrator?
