Current situation on 14.04 LTS is the port 5800 is still open and currently responds to HTTP requests with:
<html><head><title>File Not Found</title></head> <body><h1>File Not Found</h1></body></html> Verified this was vino by killing it to see the port closed. Verified on a remote machine. In my testing I used the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers were followed to allow only local connections. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to vino in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984093 Title: vino http server binds to external interfaces despite local_only configuration Status in GNOME Remote Desktop: Fix Released Status in vino package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Environment: Debian Wheezy Vino 3.2.2-1+b1 Vino is configured for local access only via: gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/remote_access/local_only --type bool true Vino's vnc server is only listening on localhost:5900 and no other interfaces - as expected. Vino's http server, though, is listening on all interfaces, despite the local_only configuration. The expected behaviour would be for all vino services, including the http server, to only bind to the localhost interface when configured accordingly.
