Hello.
I have setup my KVM VM's for external VNC access for my users by adding the VM's to the /etc/inetd.conf file as per thread http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/612-External-VNC-viewer?highlight=inetd by adding something like this:

9001 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/qm qm vncproxy 101 Password
Click to expand...
And it works perfectly. Now, one of my users wants to get encrypted VNC access through SSH tunnel, and I cannot grant him ssh root access to the proxmox server.

My question is: can he get VNC access to his VM through SSH tunnel without the need to ssh as root into the proxmox server, i.e as a regular user?
Thanks in advance. Best regards.

Alejandro.
 
does not help now but Proxmox VE 2.0 will have built in support for secure VNC access with flexible permission management.
