Dan,

I'm not familiar with TeamViewer, but your copy-and-past problem can
probably be solved with vncconfig. You have to start this process on the
VNC server to enable clipboard transfers. It's been a while since I've
messed with mine, but I believe you need to start it up in GUI mode (no
options) to configure the behavior. After that you can use the -nowin
option to run it in the background.

Hope this helps.

Todd

disclaimer: It's been a long time since I used unix/linux vnc... I might
be off.

This totally depents on the server side setup... If the users all get
their own X11 session by inet.d, then just scan the process list for
xvnc-executables and their users. if the users all connect to existing
X11 sessions, it is up to the way these sessions enable vnc and if/how
the connections are logged. In the end, you can always scan the
connected sessions (netstat -a) and do an educated guess for the X11/VNC
sessions.

Between msWindows and X11 there are some differences the way the
copy-buffers are used. On msWindows there is a sinlge buffer that can
handle roughly everything (except for the kitchen sink ;-). On unix /
X11, there are more of these buffers. By head I think there is the
selection buffer and about 10 cut/copy buffers. All of these can only
handle ascii text. In the beginning of VNC, there just was no connection
between the local and remote buffers, except for the keyboard buffer.
Current handling depends first on the used vnc-server, next on the used
viewer. Check their documentation for details.
