1.1 asau 1: # NetBSD RDP/VNC survey
2: This page aims to provide a complete list of VNC/RDP implementations which can likely be ported to NetBSD.
3: As a further goal, documentation will be added on how to install and configure the particular implementations.

141: ## TODO
142:
1.13 asau 143: ### General
1.1 asau 144: 1. Bring other RDP and VNC software to pkgsrc.
145: 1. Check interoperability of servers and clients for NetBSD and other desktop systems (MS Windows, MacOS X).
1.13 asau 146:
147: ### VNC
1.8 asau 148: 1. [[!wikipedia UltraVNC]]
149: 1. [[!wikipedia TigerVNC]]
150: 1. [[!wikipedia ITALC]]
1.11 asau 151: 1. Check interoperability with stock MacOS X VNC server, it has extensions not handled by TightVNC and RealVNC at least.
152: I have to run this to make it possible to connect to MacOS:
153: <pre>
154: sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -verbose -activate -restart -agent -allowAccessFor -allUsers -privs -all -clientopts -setvnclegacy -vnclegacy yes -setvncpw -vncpw some-password
155: </pre>
156: Setting password is essential here.
157: Tested on Darwin 10.3.3 x86_64.
1.13 asau 158:
159: ### RDP
160: 1. Update xrdp in wip, bring xrdp to pkgsrc.
161:
162: ### NX
163: 1. Check trends in NX software (I heard free package isn't going to be supported anymore).
164:
165: ### Other
166: 1. Check pkgsrc/net/vinagre.
