[svlug] running many remote desktop connections

[Sameer Verma]

Hi everybody,
I'd like for my students to be able to use a VNC viewer on their 
machines to access an account that I have created for them on a FC3 
machine. The idea is to get them familiarized with a Linux desktop and 
show them some of the GUI based tools available.

While I have used VNC before, I am a bit stumped this time. I'd like for 
them to connect to their VNC session without having to get into their 
shell and typing 'vncserver'. The other problem is the part that comes 
after the : while specifying the address. Is there a way around that? 
Can they simply specify their login and password and get in...sorta like 
Remote Desktop'ing on Windows, since that's what they are used to. It is 
also a management nightmare if I have to keep track of who has what 
session. We are talking about 120 students here.
