i'd use the inetd option with vnc in redhat.
i use it and love it...also gives you the flexibility of screen resolution
and as many sessions as you want to open.
do a search on the uk att site for instructions

Please respond to
vnc-list
First of all, let me say that I am relatively new to both Linux and VNC
so please excuse the newbie-ness of these question.
I have a test installation of RH 7.2. I did not realize that VNC was on
it already and I downloaded and installed VNC 3.3.3r2. I started
vncerver from the command prompt and I installed VNC on a Windows
machine and I was able to get into the machine fine. The problem is
that for security reasons I don't want to have VNC running as root and I
also would like it to start when the machine boots. I saw something
(either a post on this list or on the VNC website I think) about putting
the command in rc.local so I did but it starts a new display every time
the machine reboots and leaves pooplets around from the old display so
there is no good way of knowing what display number it will be. Clearly
I missed something important here :-( Any pointers would be greatly
appreciated. Also, should I be using the VNC stuff that came with Red
Hat?
My second question is about SSH from Windows. I read the SSH document
on the VNC website and I got very confused and I asked a coworker to
look at it and they were confused about how we can use SSH when going
from a Windows VNC Client to get to Linux VNC Server. We would like to
eventually deploy about 100 Linux servers throughout the state of North
Carolina. The servers may be managed from Windows workstations in some
cases. The network is not secure so we'd like to use SSH. Thanks!
