>From what I have seen you use the -broadcast option which may or may
not work depending on how you have your choosers setup. change it to
-query localhost so you only get a session from the box you attach to.
Additionally, I have seen errors similar to yours in two instances, 1)
the Xvnc file is not in the path specified or 2) the permissions on Xvnc
are not set to eXecutable both of which prevent xinetd from spawning the
process and hence the part of the error that says "no such process".
That doesn't mean there aren't other reasons. My Xvnc is in
/usr/local/bin on my RH 7.2 box. I can't remember how I installed it
though. I may have just copied Xvnc to that directory.
I also don't have the log_on_success and log_on_failure options for
xinetd so I don't know if or how they work.
Which display manager are you running?
Check those things and let me know how it goes.

Done! I know that XDMCP is working because it is allowing X
connections
from thin clients (diskless NCDs)

I did not receive this file, however this is what my /etc/services
looks
like:
vnc-640x480x8 5950/tcp # vnc server IP
vnc-800x600x8 5951/tcp # vnc server IP
vnc-800x600x16 5952/tcp # vnc server IP

I did not recieve this file, however this is what my
/etc/xinetd.d/vnc-640x480x8 file looks like
service vnc-640x480x8
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd -broadcast -once -geometry
640x480 -depth 8
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
}

When I do this xinit restart command I get some errors:
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running
Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't
already run

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
Please report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
giving up.
xinit: unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
These errors seem to occur whether the vnc files are in the
/etc/xinetd.d direcotry or not :-(
