Whatever it was that looked like a timeout to destroy my test login sessions must have been me doing something stupid to the wrong window in the general clutter.

A bunch of windows have stayed up over night, at least.

So, that was it??? Or???

Repeat suitable number of times, and you get the ability to run suitable-number separate sessions. Or do you??

Quirk remaining: There's a timeout..?? Is that in gdm, or in Xvnc or in the login itself or in the shell? Or am I totally off, and this is not the way to do it?? and I'm just seeing that it doesn't really do what I think it does?

Thanks.

The SunRay system assigns display numbers dynamically, sort-of (it's a kludge, really, I know, but it acts as if it were true), so I was thinking this mechanism should have been a natural for any interface designer when TigerVNC appeared..

I THINK I understand how to do this via console-kit and GDM, (Thanks Mr Palo!) in a way that at least won't require me to assign special, different commands to each prospective user, but rather will manage a limited set of possible displays in a sort of dynamic manner.

Which is reasonable.

For Mr Harvey: I don't think the port is used in that fashion when in nowait state: Displays can, I think, use any type of channel, pipes or unix sockets or tcp sockets, to talk to the X clients and any port number can be disassociated from the socket used to communicate between the caller and whatever service the port server initiated on behalf of the caller. And as far as I can see, the xvnc man page says that in nowait and inetd mode, Xvnc's port is only used when prompting the initiation of a service, not for running it. Then again, I'm not really an X expert.

Or what?
Sorry, you're reaching the limit of what I remember about this mechanism, since
it's been years since I've really worked with it.

BTW I haven't been able to find any document actually describing the "-once"
option to "Xvnc -inetd". Where should I look for that?
Xserver(1):
      -once   causes the server to terminate (rather  than reset)
              when the XDMCP session ends.


I suddenly feel very dense... :-) Sorry...
