OK... teachers still cannot control, broadcast, etc.
Error is "Opening password file failed"
Here's what I have done:
created a "teachers" group and made all teachers members
logged in as root
ran vncpasswd
changed password
executed #cp -R -p /root/.vnc /opt/ltsp/i386/root/ (folder is present etc)
ran visudo
added line "%teachers ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/fl_teachertool"
made sure X4_MODULE_02 = vnc was uncommented in lts.conf
teachers still cannot control, broadcast, etc. same error
As a shot in the dark, I tried the following:
made the following changes in build_x4_cfg to reflect recommendations on
fl_teachertool website:
#if [ "$VNC_MODULE_LOADED" ]; then
# echo ' Option "httpdir" "/usr/share/vnc/classes"'
# echo ' Option "PasswordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd"'
# echo ' Option "rfbport" "5900"'
# echo ' Option "usevnc"'
#fi
# commented out if statement above to try fl-teacher website config
#=========================================
# Added to enable Monitor/Control in Fl_TeacherTool
Option "httpdir" "/usr/share/vnc/classes"
Option "PasswordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd"
Option "rfbport" "5900"
Option "usevnc"
#=========================================
Still same error
I even tried to give the teachers group permissions to read/write /opt/ltsp/i386/root/.vnc folder and passwd file. This resulted in a new error "no password configured for VNC Auth".
Suggestions?
