Hello,
I suppose that you loose the http port with -inetd option!
I had the similar problem on sun solaris 2.6 with CDE as window manager.
Now it works, why?
I had several inetd process (strange) and only one of them was activate.
Each time, i do "kill -1 <bad PID number of inetd process>"
Perhaps, you're in the same case
my config:
1-Add line in /etc/services file
#X vnc
vnc 5950/tcp
2-Add line in /etc/inetd.conf file
#X vnc
vnc stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/bin/Xvncinetd
Xvncinetd
1280x1024 24
3-Create script Xvncinet on /usr/local/bin directory:
#!/bin/sh
Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -once -geometry $1 -depth $2 -desktop "VNCserver
sur
$HOST" -fp tcp/localhost:7100
4-change owner and group
su -c "chown root.root /usr/local/bin/Xvnc"
5-add SGID on the binary file (Xvnc)
su -c "chmod g+s /usr/local/bin/Xvnc"
6-do:
ps -ef |grep inetd
kill -1 <PID de inetd>
best regards
Girard
