Assuming that the Mandrake 8.0 /etc/rc.d/init.d/vncservers is similar to the Red Hat script (I'm 99% sure it is), you should take a look at /etc/sysconfig/vncservers. Each line should define a display number and a username. If the username is root, then I'm a little stumped. If it's something else, check for .vnc/passwd in that user's home directory. If that passwd file looks okay, you might want to verify that it is on a filesystem that has been mounted by that point in the startup process. -- Mike Ossmann, Tarantella/UNIX Engineer/Instructor Alternative Technology, Inc. http://www.alttech.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
