I cam ssh into a terminal and run vncserver as a local app on the 
clientbut alla remote person sees is a gray screen with x cursor.cause 
the terminal is using display :0....so i used the rdesktopscreen script 
as a basis to see if i could run the terminals display as display:1 and 
then see the display remotely..on the ltspserver i can either start 
vncserver via xinetd or manually. but can´t get syntax right in 
vncviewer script on terminal i  guess as all isee on the terminal is x 
starting then a  very brief display of what seems to be vncviewer --help 
before x crashes.i still don understand how using this one could isolate 
say lab17 and take over their session cause the terminal has no vncsever 
running...and the server may be serving out ten sessions to different 
clients..
tried  also to somehow export x display of terminals but get in a fuddle 
trying to understand where the seesion is really happening......chuck
