production remote graphical login












0















I have been doing a lot of searching for how to set up Ubuntu to allow remote users to graphically login. Most of them have you set up a vnc server per user. This is idioc in a normal production setting (like 10k users). The ones that show how to do it via xinetd for multiple users I have simply not been able to get to work. It seems like a real failing that linux does not have a reasonable equivalent to rdp. User connects, gets a login screen and logs in remotely. Really! I am an old unix guy and this is one of the most frustrating/unreasonable situations I find on Linux.

Does anyone know of a reasonable guide on how to set up x11vnc to allow this. Session recovery on disconnect would also be real nice. I am even open to a CentOS solution. Thanks all!
