John,
You mentioned it's enough to set the key /desktop/gnome/remote_access/network_interface to "lo".
Could you clarify what is it enough for, specifically?
I did this and on my PC it is still listening on tcp6 :::5900 allowing other machines to connect. I have boxes on the same subnet and they were all able to connect without a problem.
I'd like only the localhost (i.e. ssh tunnel) to be able to connect.
How do i make vino bind to 127.0.0.1 only?
It looks like no matter how I configure it, vino opens a security hole on my machine if I enable it.
Please correct me if i'm wrong.
I'm running ubuntu 9.04 that was just installed a week ago and wasn't modified in any way.
