Greetings.
I have been using Virtualbox for headless servers for some time and is
very pleased with it.
Since I run the servers headless, I use VNC for console on the servers.
I'm running virtualbox-ose-4.1.18 on 9.0-RELEASE amd64, and I start my
servers with
/usr/local/bin/VBoxHeadless --startvm someserver --vnc --vncport 5901
--vncpass=3Dsomepass
Im now building a new box, and installed 4.2.6 on 9.1-RELEASE amd64
I've made my first guest, via the X11 GUI, and it works. But I cannot
get VNC running in headless.
I installed from ports, and enabled VNC option
[root@foo /var/db/ports/virtualbox-ose]# cat options
# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.

Why unusable:
but I cannot figure how to make console via VNC in 4.2
Any pointers ?
