CVS commit: pkgsrc/x11/x11vnc
Module Name: pkgsrc
Committed By: obache
Date: Thu Dec 11 07:27:00 UTC 2008
Modified Files:
pkgsrc/x11/x11vnc: Makefile PLIST distinfo
Log Message:
Update x11vnc to 0.9.6.
New in the 0.9.6 x11vnc release:
x11vnc's SSL encryption is extended to support the VeNCrypt and
TLS (older; vino) SSL/TLS security type extensions to VNC.
Anonymous Diffie-Hellman key exchange (-ssl ANON) and Certificate
Revocation List support (-sslCRL) is added to the SSL
encryption mode.
The Java viewer applet can now be served up through the VNC port
(5900) in addition to the normal HTTP port (5800) via
the -http_oneport option. Previously this only worked
for SSL connections and HTTPS.
The "-rfbport PROMPT" mode presents a simple gui for the user
to select a port for the x11vnc service and a few other
settings. This enables a menu entry for naive users
that is included in x11vnc.desktop.
If x11vnc is not built with the Avahi Zeroconf library an external
helper program (avahi-publish or dns-sd on Mac OS X)
is used instead.
miscellaneous new features and changes:
The default mode for '-ssl' is now the '-ssl SAVE' mode; i.e.
the generated certificate is saved and reused in
subsequent sessions rather than being discarded.
Use '-ssl TMP' recover the old way. This change made
to for it to be more likely that the VNC Viewer can save
the accepted cert for future authentications.
The solid background color option works on the Mac OS X console.
The -reopen option enables x11vnc to try to re connect to the X
display if GDM (or other display manager) kills it just
after the user logs in.
The -dhparams option can be used to point to your own Diffie
Hellman parameters.
The -setdefer option allows tuning how quickly updates will
be sent. Default setting tuned.
The option -zeroconf is now an alias for -avahi/-mdns.
In pipeinput mode, the pipe filehandle is now closed when
x11vnc exits.
The -sshonly option turns off VeNCrypt and TLSVNC (vino) mod
leaving only the standard SSL (i.e. vncs://)
For testing, the option -rand in an alias for -rawfb rand -nopw
Minor tweaks to improve CUPS Print tunneling.
