There are several programs based on the vnc protocol that allow remote management of computers. RealVNC gets its name from the fact that it is published by several people who have tinkered with this protocol from the very beginning at AT&T. RealVNC is available in one free and two commercial performances† Version 5.2.3 has been released with the following improvements:
Windows
- FIXED: Accept/reject prompts now appear correctly if a host computer user logs out while VNC Viewer users are connecting.
UNIX
- FIXED: Re-installing or upgrading VNC on certain platforms no longer results in duplicate PAM entries that can prevent connections.
- FIXED: The VNC Server in Virtual Mode daemon (vncserver-virtual) no longer crashes the host computer if VNC parameters or Xvnc options in configuration files are specified in the wrong format.
Mac OS X
- The TryLegacyCaptureMethod VNC parameter can be set to 1 if screen corruption is experienced when connected to headless servers running OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
