Anyone who can help,
I have been trying to get VNC working with inetd the last few days and I
am having issues. We having been using VNC by SSHing in and starting
the vncserver without any problem but we are getting collisions with
session number and I would like to use the inetd to stop that (I am
admin to 23 users). I am able to open session through VNC with some
options but not all.
when I try to use below by typing hostname:3 in VNC
johnvnc stream tcp wait jmalian /usr/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query
127.0.0.1 -auth -once
passwordFile=/net/mfgnet-fs2/vol/vol2/ict/jmalian/.vnc/passwd -cc 3
-geometry 1265x960
I get nothing. By nothing I mean I get no message from VNC stating
anything and no windows open.
when I try to use below by typing hostname:5 in VNC
chuckvnc stream tcp nowait ccasale /usr/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query
127.0.0.1 -cc 3 -geometry 1265x960
The VNC session opens and I get my CDE login like normal. The problem
here is the VNC window is labeled ccasale's x11 desktop (hostname:1).
If I close the VNC window and try to reopen the same session by entering
hostname:5 in VNC I get the CDE login again and ccasale's x11 desktop
(hostname:2). This is where the main problem is. I want to be able to
when I close the window log back into the same session. I can do this
when I start the vncserver manually. I also noticed on the server (the
HPUX machine) that before I open the session through the PC there are no
processes running. When I start the session with the PC I get the
following
# ps -aef | grep vnc
ccasale 9280 6987 0 13:50:56 ? 0:05 Xvnc -inetd -query
127.0.0.1 -cc 3 -geometry 1265x960
When I close the VNC window (click on the X in the top right corner) and
look on the server there are no processes running again.
I hope this is enough information ( and not to much) to get some help
with my problem. I am highly frustrated at this point and would much
appreciate any help. As a side not once I get the session problem fixed
I would love some pointers on how to get the security issue fixed. I
can not get it working so that the VNC asks for a password before
opening the CDE login.
You have to pass something like
-rfbauth=/home/user/.vnc/passwd
because Xvnc defaults to
securitytypes=none

Here is my xinetd file for both a public and a private vnc session.
The public session
terminates the X session when the vnc session terminates.
The private session does what you want. You connect and can
re-connect to the session.
It will only terminate the session when you logout.
cat vnc
# if you close the VNC session, this will terminate your X session on this
# connection
#Note: this only seems to work IF you don't use the
# default port of 5901 -- vncviewers make an assumption if on the
# default port about how things work instead or querying the server
#for either of these to work correctly (ie gdm login) you must
# modify /etc/X11/gdm/gdm-config
# section [Xdmcp]
# Enable=true
service vnc-public
