And why are you doing that?
The guide is saying the opposite, you need to log in as root.

after doing step 8. i can't login with vnc anymore. i get this error. "The server does not have a valid password enabled. Until a password is set, incomming connections cannot be accepted.. how do i fix this?

Excellent tutorial.
I only had one problem. On my leaseweb express server 1, vncserver would not work. Switching to vnc4server worked fine as did the rest of the tutorial.

I just have to say this:

This is one of the best tutorials in the world wide web! 10/10

Perhaps i will translate it to *german* if its okay for you?!

However i don't have much time atm (study^^)

I've followed all the steps. I'm using debian in my server. The only problem is that i can't find firefox or open any web browser through vnc viewer.

anyway to solve this ?

Thanks NaQ and all who posted updates. I want to try this on a test server (seedbox) in my home before I try applying to a purchased seedbox. Any guides on how to install the server os so its like what you would get from a purchased seedbox?

Using Debian:

In the section to change ports for ssh, there is the code:

# /etc/init.d/sshd restart

when using a Debian install this "file or directory does not exist"

maybe an update on that or Im missing something.

Also, when starting firestarter, I te the error "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: ", I thought it had something to do with -depth when opening vncserver, but not so.

That being said: great guide, thanks.
