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
