.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBXvnc\fR is a VNC (Virtual Network Computing) server.  It acts like
an X server with a virtual display.  The display can be seen by a VNC
viewer application, which may be running on a different machine: see
\fBvncviewer\fR(1).

It is built inside the source code tree of XFree86, and shares many
options with it.

Note that if you are going to use VNC on an untrusted network, you
will need to use SSH to prevent unauthorised access.  See
<URL:http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html> for details.
