Use VNC as an inetd service. When you connect, each person will get their own login screen and then they can log into their own account just as if they were sitting at the physical terminal.
I have config files and crude instructinos to help you if you want. E-mail me and I will forward them to you when I get back to work on Monday. The only drawback is if the student closes the session (client window) anything they may have been working on is gone if it wasn't saved. The benefit is that you don't need to configure Xvnc specifically for each student. Jeff >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/14/01 19:06 PM >>> Our situtation: we're setting up a Unix server with windows clients for VNC in a school environment. Is there a way to set up VNC so that it automatically creates a new server? Example: a person connects to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, and VNC automatically creates a new desktop and logs that person into it? Right now, I've basically written a script that says " vncserver vncserver vncserver .. " 50 or so times. Aside from being awkward and taking a long time, it's also inconvenient for the students. One logs in as n.n.n.n:1, the next as n.n.n.n:2, and so on. It would be way easier if students could just type in n.n.n.n and then the vnc server automatically generates a new desktop and logs them in. The idea is that the vnc server runs on a heavily restricted general account. The individual students then log into their own accounts and do whatever. Many thanks.
