Hi all.

Just installed VNC on RH 6.2.

When I run vncserver everything works fine.
Running it from inetd however, well, that is another story.

I have searched the archives and looked at every single
post about the subject - and followed all of the advice -
but still cannot get it to work.
All I get is the usually documented grey screen and X cursor.

Why should it be that running from the command line
all goes well yet from inetd it just don't?

here we go:
/etc/services
vnc-640x480x8   5950/tcp
vnc-800x600x8   5951/tcp
vnc-800x600x16  5952/tcp

/etc/inetd
vnc-640x480x8   stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/bin/Xvnc
Xvnc -inetd -broadcast -once -geometry 640x480 -depth 8
vnc-800x600x8   stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/Xvnc
Xvnc -inetd -broadcast -once -geometry 800x600x8 -depth 8
vnc-800x600x16  stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/bin/Xvnc
Xvnc -inetd -broadcast -once -geometry 800x600 -depth 16

I've tried it from different username but all meet with the same success (or
lack of it I should say).
I have tried running it from ~/.vnc/xvncinetd with all of the options and as
basic as I can make it.
It definately reads the file as it produces whatever I put after Desktop in
the blue bar yet it still
fails to do anything else.

Any pointers would most definately be helpful.


Cheers

Ken
