Hello, Did any one know how to enable remote adminstration (VNC) without using Yast (Yast / Network Services / Remote Administration / Allow Remote Administration)? I’m looking for the same thing, but in command line ? Thanks to anyone which could help me on this. BR DeWaRs ---

It looks like it’s not just one thing that needs doing but several steps including setting variables in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager file, installing packages, and enabling services. ## HTH.
