Introduction VNC server ✎ the VNC server is available only on the t5515 and t5525. Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote control program that allows you to view and interact with one computer (the "server") using a simple program (the "viewer") on another computer anywhere on the Internet. The VNC Server runs as a service and therefore is available even when the user is logged off the thin client. The system stores the VNC server password in encrypted form in a hidden directory named ".vnc" in the user's home directory. For example, the system stores the password for user "fred" at: /home/fred/.vnc/passwd. If you delete the passwd file to reset the password, the system prompts the user for a new password the next time the VNC server is started. The password must be six to eight characters long. Additional information about VNC server features is available at: http://www.tightvnc.org XFce Settings Manager The thin client includes a control panel called XFce Settings Manager. You can access a wide variety of utilities from the settings manager. For more information, see Chapter 4, "XFce Settings Manager." HP Desktop Options The thin client features different desktop interface options. These options provide different ways for you to manage your connections, and as well as determine the appearance of your desktop. Your selection in this utility determines what your thin client looks like and how it communicates. 1-8 www.hp.com Administrator's Guide

Introduction
VNC server
✎
the VNC server is available only on the t5515 and t5525.
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote control program that
allows you to view and interact with one computer (the “server”)
using a simple program (the “viewer”) on another computer anywhere
on the Internet. The VNC Server runs as a service and therefore is
available even when the user is logged off the thin client.
The system stores the VNC server password in encrypted form in a
hidden directory named “.vnc” in the user’s home directory. For
example, the system stores the password for user “fred” at:
/home/fred/.vnc/passwd.
If you delete the passwd file to reset the password, the system
prompts the user for a new password the next time the VNC server is
started. The password must be six to eight characters long.
Additional information about VNC server features is available at:
XFce Settings Manager
The thin client includes a control panel called XFce Settings
Manager. You can access a wide variety of utilities from the settings
manager. For more information, see
Chapter 4, “XFce Settings
Manager.”
HP Desktop Options
The thin client features different desktop interface options. These
options provide different ways for you to manage your connections,
and as well as determine the appearance of your desktop. Your
selection in this utility determines what your thin client looks like and
how it communicates.
