I can ssh into my desktop at work and work at the command line, but I would like to use a remote desktop protocol to check on some of the programs that I left open and running.

I have not set up permission to use a remote desktop client (e.g. tsclient) on the desktop, so my requests to connect are refused (see picture).

The instructions given in a previous question suggest that the following should work:

gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true

/usr/lib/vino/vino-server

But I get this:

(30/07/2011 11:25:35 PM Autoprobing TCP port in (all) network interface

30/07/2011 11:25:35 PM Listening IPv6://[::]:5900

30/07/2011 11:25:35 PM Listening IPv4://0.0.0.0:5900

30/07/2011 11:25:35 PM Autoprobing selected port 5900

30/07/2011 11:25:35 PM Advertising security type: 'No Authentication' (1)

Am I doing something incorrectly?

Is it possible to ssh in and give myself the required permissions to use tsclient?
