I asked: I am running my vncserver on a two different Linux Mandrake 8.0 boxes. I provide a password a everything is just fine until I reboot. I can connect with multiple clients. I can start many vncserver sessions. I can disconnect and reconnect. I can stop my servers and restart them. When I reboot it appears that my vncserver password is lost.
Michael Ossmann replied (in part): The user account(s) which vncserver runs as should save the password (hashed) from session to session in ~user/.vnc/passwd. You might want to check and make sure this has been created. I reply: There is a passwd file in /root/.vnc. There is also a hashed entry in the file. So, I guess the question really becomes: Why can't /etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver read /root/.vnc/passwd at boot? (I realize that this is probably no longer specific to VNC, but probably a UNIX question.) Any thoughts? -Lief --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
