Hi, we are using vncserver to export a Linux/KDE desktop to WinNT and other Linux computers. On the Linux system we have installed Xvnc as ined service on port 5950. This works fine with the following configurations /etc/services: vnc 5950/tcp # VCN server for cscorr /etc/inetd.conf: vnc stream tcp nowait cscorr.tem /usr/local/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -once -geometry 1023x768 -depth 8 /tmp: drwxrwxr-x 2 root tem 1024 Mar 20 12:32 .X11-unix When we start vncviewer on another system with vncview peocorr:50 the viewer presents a nice X11 desktop with kdm login prompt for the remote system, at least mostly ... . Occasionally the connection cannot be established and the vncviewer exits with: vncviewer: VNC server closed connection Retrying several times solves the problem. Since we need a reliable connect procedure we are very much interested in finding the reason for the occasional failures. The symptom does not depend on the system where vncviewer is started, we have tried WinNT, Linux on a remote PC, and Linux on the same PC where Xvnc is installed (vncviewer localhost:50). Does anyone has an idea how to solve our problem, our how to get more information about what's going on in detail when the connect failure happens ? Thank you very much for any hints and help Heiko -- Dr. Heiko Mueller Englerstr. 28 Tel: +49 6221 400584 CEOS GmbH D-69126 Heidelberg Fax: +49 6221 451449 Germany --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send a message with the line: unsubscribe vnc-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
