Use an eMac running Tiger via VNC
I'm super bored and I have no other use for this eMac right now.
So why not let people log into it with VNC and mess around with OS X?
75.17.80.165
port 5901 (display 1)
No password. Don't do anything illegal. I can see everything you do since it's in my living room.

It's a VNC server. You need to use a VNC client and the port specified.
Hmm... I can't connect through any client I try.
I think if someone else is on it you may not connect. So try again later.
The eMac is down for the night. The server kept crashing anyway. I'll try another server tomorrow.
This is neat, I need to install a VNC client on my machine first. There needs to be more things like this.
Apparently Vine Server has a monopoly on suitable VNC servers for Mac OS X. So I put it back online with Vine Server, we'll see if it crashes again.
In 10.4 and 10.5 there is a VNC server built in. Go to system prefs, Sharing, and I believe you can enable it in the options for Apple Remote Desktop.
You must define a password. I wanted there to be no password. Also, that server doesn't work with some clients/settings.
You could make a simple password like 1211 or 0000
Just connected on my iPhone, couldnt click any thing. May be because of the iPhone. Then i got disconnected.
Looked fun.

I might have to, because even running in user mode (not root mode like before) the Vine Server process keeps freezing up. What a crappy software that can't even take a few connections at a time.
This was so cool. Thank you Mr. Richardson!
That's awesome! Thanks!
It's running solidly now. Feel free to log on. I'll leave it up probably for a while. I don't have any use for the eMac right now.
It's a 1.42 GHz, the fastest eMac made. Only 512 MB of RAM right now but I want to get it up to 1 GB.

I logged on with Chicken Of The VNC, but since I'm using an Hackintosh, the keyboard was messed up and when I tried making a folder, it made quite a few folder copies.
Heh.
I was going to say "Hello from QuadSix50" in TextEdit, but I was getting strange characters for some reason. Don't know if it was on my end using Remote Desktop Viewer in Ubuntu or if something was changed on the Mac.

I remote into machines all day long.
Is this really something new for you guys?
Not trying to be a killjoy, just asking.

So do I, but it was one way to waste away a few minutes of my life while at work.
I was told it was refused.
Vine Server (formerly OSXvnc) is nice in that it allows multiple VNC sessions to be open simultaneously. Use Fast User Switching, and launch Vine Server in each user. Each user has a different port, so you can remote in as different users, without interrupting the local user.
I used to do this when my wife used our eMac as her primary machine, but the machine also had all our home business info on it. I just left the home business user logged in with OSXvnc running, and would remote in. Unless I tried to do something CPU-intensive, she didn't even know I was connected.
