Right. RH 7.2 uses xinetd so you do "b" and then restart the xinetd service (/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart). It writes to /var/log/messages so you should be able to see if it had a problem with the vnc file or any others.

I installed it as "vnc" in that directory. If you are running gdm, then you will have to use gdmconfig to turn on port 177. I think the instructions have been updated to reflect this. > Scott J.
