>I am trying to run a VNC viewer from my workstation 'wolf' to my VNC server 'lrrh' and using ssh as my secure mode. My commands are as follows:

ssh -L 5902:lrrh:5901 lrrh
then either:
vncviewer lrrh:1 or
vncviewer localhost:2
either one is supposed to work.
>What I get is a grey screen with at bar at the top reading: TightVNC: Roots X desktop (lrrh:1). Nothing is on the screen, just a box indicating that I have a desktop with nothing in it. Not even a cursor,, just an X for my cursor.

Before I added ssh, I was able to get the desktop and run some programs,
now,, nothing. Even when I go back to just a VNC commection all I get
is that blank desktop.
I am determined to replace the remote consultants MS desktops with Linux
and if I can get them logging into the NT box with a secure connection
where they can execute a desktop icon then I can present that to my boss
as a better way than, VPN from a windows desktop.
Any Ideas guys,, or girls?? I know this is a holiday and traffic is
'very' slow, maybe some of you are online,,
