I would like to enable vnc password authentication for my SLED15 machine. I am logged in to this machine via terminal. I referred to following link [https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7004096](https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7004096) and have completed Step 1 but I am not able to follow through with Step 2. I am facing following issues :- Step 2 says to Open YaST. When I open yast from terminal. I see console panel, I see Network Services on left hand side but there is no Network Services (xinetd) to select. Couldn’t find xinetd in /etc folder as well. I see Remote Administration(VNC) on right hand side but if I select that option, I get following screen :- ┌Remote Administration Settings─sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss┐ │( ) Allow Remote Administration With Session Management │ │(x) Allow Remote Administration Without Session Management │ │( ) Do Not Allow Remote Administration │ │ │ │[] Enable access using a web browser │ └─rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr┘ ``` ┌Firewall Settings for firewalld─dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd┐ │[] Open Port in Firewall [Firewall Details...] │ │Firewall is disabled │ └─nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn┘ ``` There is no option to edit. Can you please let me know how to perform step 2 from linux terminal? Pl let me know if you need any info.
