Note: if you search the list, you will find that there is a limit on options for the inet.conf command line. To work around this issue it is suggested to put the Xvnc... in a script and call the script from inet.conf.

What exactly should that line look like now? Do I change the * or BROADCAST to "localhost"? I've tried both and I can't get a VNC connection anymore. Couldn't find a man page either. Thanks!

The goal is to allow Windows users to run remote Unix sessions. I installed vnc on a Solaris 8 workstation (I'll call it "vnc_serv"), and configured it to use inetd. Here is the inetd.conf file: inet.conf: vnc-1024x768x16 stream tcp nowait nobody /opt/vnc/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -broadcast -once -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 Problem: When I try to connect to the vnc server ("vnc_serv:50") from a remote Windows client, sometimes the login screens for DIFFERENT Unix (Sun and SGI) workstations show up! Ones that don't have VNC server running or installed. How is this possible? I was told it probably has something to do with xdmcp, and something about an X session being broadcast. Since I don't know to much about this and haven't found any documentation about this and VNC, I was hoping someone might know what the problem might be. I cat out the files I was told were probably involved with this problem below. Thanks!
