I'm trying to connect to a MacOS X (10.5) server box in a rack on
the other side of campus. In theory, VNC should work for this, yet:

hrm@shades:~$ xtightvncviewer ${server}:0
Connected to RFB server, using protocol version 3.8
Server did not offer supported security type

I've tried xtightvncviewer, xvnc4viewer, gvncviewer, and all three
report essentially the same problem.

We've found someone suggesting to use "last available release from
TightVNC web site", but that seems to be v2.0, which is Windows-only;
The latest version for Linux is 1.3.10 (I've got 1.3.9 here).

Has anyone managed the above feat using Linux?

Hugo.
