That sounds right. From the VNC documentation page http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/howitworks.html : "A Unix machine can run a number of Xvnc servers for different users, each of which represents a distinct VNC desktop. Each VNC desktop is like a virtual X display, with a root window on which several X applications can be displayed." So it would seem your unix machine must have as much instances of vncserver running as you have users (each on its own virtual display, I presume). gdm is still not required because user selection and authentication is done on the client side (by selecting machine:display and password). Actually, I don't think it's possible to use gdm with VNC's X server, which must be already running under a user ID when the client connects. What you want is probably an X server for Windows that can be managed by gdm, and VNC ain't no such thing. Anyway, you can take a look at a detailed paper on VNC on ftp://ftp.uk.research.att.com/pub/docs/att/tr.98.1.pdf Good luck. -- Carlos Sousa -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
