Hello there, I've got a question about connecting to my VNC server over SSH from a Macintosh. I've got my VNC server running on a CEntOS 5.4 box. If I just enter the IP address & firewall port (i.e. 10.16.0.136:7) I can connect fine using Real VNC's "VNC Viewer Enterprise Edition" version E4.5.2 client software from my Mac (OS X 10.5.8), or using the "VNC Viewer Free Edition" version 4.1.2 on my PC (XP). However, problems arise when I try to initiate a connection over SSH (i.e. 10.16.0.136 localhost:7). On the PC, it seems to work fine -- although, is there a way to verify that the connection is indeed over SSH? The connection info panel doesn't seem to indicate either way. On the Mac, when I try to connect over SSH, I get this error: "getaddrinfo: nodename nor servname provided, or not known (8)" A Google search turned up articles pointing to Apple's implementation of OpenSSL. I was just curious if anyone else had this same problem.
