| and goes right ahead and accepts connections.
|
| I saw the --kinetd option, as well as the --config option, but the former
| didn't seem to do me any good and I find no documentation for the latter
| file's format just like for the rest of krfb.  FWIW, I have installed
| 3.1.2 on my SuSE 8.1 system from the SuSE updates tree.
|
| Can I accomplish what I seek, or is krfb not the right tool for me?
|
|
| TIA & HAND
|
| :-D

If you go to the KDE Control Panel, to Internet & Network and then to
Desktop Sharing, you'll see how to configure krfb for what you want.

Regards,
Steven
