Hi All, Thanks for the help and instructions. I would like to proudly state that we are now running VNC server on two Linux boxes and clients on a handful of Linux and Windows boxes (a mix of WinME laptops and Win2K desktops). Some notes for the instructions.
I don't think RedHat 7.1 was a problem although we had a scheduled upgrade to 7.2 so we did that before debugging the problem. What we apparently missed on the first computer I was installing things on was to run gdmconfig and enable port 177. This is step 3 in the instructions that are online now. The original computer was running gdm. That was it on this box. The second computer was a new AS Labs machine with 7.2 installed by them. It was running kdm and the instructions about kdmrc worked perfectly. It was less than 10 minutes to install and test VNC server and client on this machine. I used the TightVNC RPMs and Windows client executable. They worked flawlessly. One person here is very happily pecking away using Kdevelop inside his VNC. I have even run VNC client on the Linux box inside another VNC session and that works great. I think that if the instructions were more explicit about gdmconfig, I would never have had any trouble. A minor nit is that the vnc lines for services lose their tabs. If these lines could be placed in a file that could be downloaded with tabs intact, it would be even easier. I would like to thank everyone for all the help. I for one am a very happy camper right now and have added VNC to my list of standard things to install to have a nice development environment. :) -- Joel Sherrill, Ph.D. Director of Research & Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] On-Line Applications Research Ask me about RTEMS: a free RTOS Huntsville AL 35805 Support Available (256) 722-9985 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
