Setting up x11vnc

After we had all the thin clients runnign from the admin computer we wanted to set up the x11vnc program. This program allows the admin computer to view the thin clients screens, making sure the students/workers are doing what they are supposed to. In order to install x11vnc we had to run a series of commands in the terminal. On the admin computer, we had to put in the following in the terminal:

-sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386

-apt-get install x11vnc

-vi /etc/rc.local

-x11vnc -display :6 -forever -bg

-cd /etc/rc2.d

-mv K99rc.local S99rc.local

After all this was put in we had to reboot the thin clients and the admin computer and we were able to run x11vnc on the thin clients, enabling the admin computer to view what the thin clients' screens.
