Just what I needed. A small recap for future googlers VNC implementation is changed from 4.1 to 4.2. No more --vnc option in 4.2. to enable VNC in 4.2, stil check the VNC option in "make config" before building the port, and then do (for a vm called test1): VBoxManage setproperty vrdeextpack VNC VBoxManage modifyvm test1 --vrdeproperty VNCPassword=3Dsomepass VBoxManage modifyvm test1 --vrdeauthlibrary null VBoxManage modifyvm test1 --vrdeport 5901 VBoxHeadless --startvm test1 if moving from a 4.1 installation and using the rc.conf way of starting vms, remove the "--vnc --vncport 5901 --vncpass=3Dsomepass" from vboxheadless_test1_flags getting rid of the --vncpass option was nice. Everyone with access to ps could see the password. Now the cleartext password is stored in the test1.vbox control file (with -rw------- rights) some google bait: FreeBSD Virtualbox 4.2 VNC howto enable vnc console headl= ess --=20 S=F8ren Schr=F8der. Obey Gravity - It's the law !
