Thanks.
Couple of quick questions...
I can see that you are running Xvnc via the Xvncinetd script, but then you talk
about creating an Xvncinet script, not an Xvncinetd script.... I assume that's
just a typo?
What do you think was the problem running directly from inetd, perms and
ownership on Xvnc, limitations on invoking Xvnc from inetd or problems with Xvnc
connection timing out before the client opened? I have been continually plagued
with the latter in tryng to do any extensive scripting via X and wonder if thats
the only issue?
Also, from your comment I assume a connection to the webserver on your host at
port 5950 produces no results? What do you get.... Its clear to me that the
browser is connecting to the listening port as the browser let me know it was
having problems with the font server.... so I assume the issue is classpath
related or some such...... any ideas????
