Jeff,
`ps -A | grep dm` doesn't show anything (well, sendmail :) ).
I tried to follow this through: inittab starts a script called 'prefdm'
which appears to identify the correct dm and start it with the -nodaemon

As you put that, I would have to agree. The flaw we're dealing with here is a
mix of *usage* and hacks to make it work on Windows.
Most applications rely on their environment for critical services - security
being one of those. When you look at the role that VNC plays, the primary
issues come d
I am so glad that you're able to confirm my findings. There are times
when you doubt yourself.
It's funny that given all the security concerns that are flowing around
VNC (tunnelling and handshaking and all that) that something that is so
easy to do on WinVNC isn't seen as a risk.
I guess I cou
I did another run, attempting a /noshared switch on Client A, setting loglevel

Client B can still connect by specifying /shared. A's client log shows no
traces of anything - not even any bobbles that could be used as a *clue* that
another session was attempted.

Yep.
I can confirm.
Registry setting ConnectPriority 2 on the server.
Client A connects.
Client B attempts to connect, and has the connection instantly closed.
Client B then attempts to connect AGAIN, specifying the /shared switch - and
successfully connects, making it a shared session.

One workaround is psshutdown.exe. It's available at sysinternals.com in
the misc utils section. You can force a reboot of a remote windows
system with it. If the machine is already in shutdown mode, you can use
pslist and pskill to find and nuke whatever it is that is holding up the
reboot process
Unfortunately, I believe that is Windows refusing the connection when you
shutdown - and you are right, it is incredibly annoying.
