[TriLUG] VNC

[Marty Ferguson]

(ref: secure VNC)

I was wrong about the port address.  There are more...

Running etherape, the new entry I added to /etc/services
still wasn't showing up.  When I caused VNC traffic,
etherape was still showing unknown.

As it turns out, VNC starts at 5900 and bumps up
by 2 for every new display added.

Here is another reference I found and it shows everything
you need for VNC thru stunnel, including a Windows registry hack.
