Hi Mike,

I think these steps should set you up to it.

1. Edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf to enable XDMCP.

To do this, go to the section
[xdmcp]
and set
Enable=1

2. In the /etc/services file add
vnc             5951/tcp

3. In the /etc/xinetd.d create a file called vnc as follows:

service vnc
{
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream
        port            = 5951
        wait            = no
        user            = nobody
        server          = /usr/local/bin/Xvnc
        server_args     = -inetd -desktop gnome -broadcast -once -ac
-geometry 1024x768 -depth 8 -rfbwait 120000 -rfbport 5951 -httpport 5851 -co
/usr/lib/X11/rgb
}

4. run init 3 and init 5 to restart your xsession.

Please keep in mind that the port 177 should be open.

You can verify this by running netstat -nap > netstat.out as root and
verifying for this.
You should look for something like this in netstat.out

OR using this su -c "nmap -sU localhost", look for 177/udp XDMCP.

Then you should be able to login using your vncviewer yourmachine:51.

HTH,

Cheers
Pramodh
