Denial of service via telnet?

Hello, I'm running VNC 3.3.3r2 under Solaris. If I have a client watching my session and someone telnets to port 5901 (corresponding to my display :1), my client hangs until the telnet session stops. This seems like a rather easy denial-of-service attack. Am I doing something wrong? Note th

Yes. Your DISPLAY environment variable is set to :0 or localhost:0 or similar. The Xvnc server is a distinct X display from the local console on the server - it will have its own display number. Cheers, James "Wez" Weatherall -- "The path to enlightenment is /usr/bin/enlightenment" L
