File under “saved my ass”

I really needed to use my now headless workstation. I forgot to start up VNC, and I forgot to enable access through the firewall to it. Fortunately, I’m not the only one with this dilemma.

Thanks to Simon Carr for these command line tips for starting OSXvnc.app and allowing a firewall rule.

This could also be filed under “Mac OSX rules.”

  1. yeah, I have been trying to get andy to sign up so that I can get my free ipod, pft no luck

  2. Oh – maybe the firewall part wasn’t the best idea. By making the changes, you effectively disable the firewall in the system prefs. Damn.
