JollysFastVNC as a server?

JollysFastVNC is a VNC client. I don't think you can turn it into a VNC server. Besides, OS/X already has one built-in. Why do you want to use something else?

as mentioned JollyFastVNC is a vnc client only. you can not turn it into a server. why do you want to btw? if you want a secondary vnc server for some reason use Vine
http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxvnc/

It means a VNC server can initiate the connection to the VNC client.

You can use *Vine Server* to initiate a connection with a VNC client that is listening for a connection.

The built-in VNC server is turned on in System Preferences' Sharing, in "Apple Remote Desktop" on Tiger and in "Screen Sharing" on Leopard and Snow Leopard. On Tiger, with ARD highlighted, also click on Advanced button to do VNC-specific setup. In Leopard and Snow Leopard, the built-in Screen Sharing application client is kinda hidden away, but you can launch it from the Finder menubar "Go" > "Connect To Server" and enter "vnc://yourVNCserverNameOrIPaddressGoesHere". You can configure Screen Sharing client to encrypt the entire session. Default from Cupertino, it only encrypts username and password. Not certain if, when you change it to encrypt the entire session, that preference persists for future sessions; you'd have to try it and see. I don't know what they use as Screen Sharing's encryption algorithm, as a total wild guess, I would say probably something like AES-192 like they do for FileVault. But I don't know.

Of course, if client and server are not on the same subnet (i.e., behind the same firewall) you will have to allow port 5900 traffic through the router firewall to pass to the vnc server computer, too.

I have been using JollysFastVNC over SSH without problem. On the server side, you need to have System Preferences->Sharing->Remote Login and Remote Management checked. On the JollysFastVNC side, select SSH as Security Type and type in -L username in SSH Options. Username is the short name you use to log in to the server. The SSH Options edit field will appear as soon as SSH is selected in the Security Type drop down. After that, just click Connect.

...since Apple took away the server list in Security Update 9-6.

Really? What server list? You don't mean the "Favorite Servers" list in the "Connect to Server" window that you get from the Finder's "Go" menubar item, do you? I have applied Security patch 2009-006 to my Mac-Pro running 10.5.8 and I still have the "Favorite Servers" list in that menubar item. Or is there some other server list that I don't know about? If we're talking about the same "favorite Servers" list, you may want to see if reapplying the 10.5.8 combo update fixes that because something isn't right anymore with your environment. That list is still there.
