I am happily using Xvnc in -inetd mode on my Linux system. It does exactly what I want: it allows an unlimited number of users to connect without persistence between sessions and without predefining the users/sessions/displays.
There's just one more thing: I would like to be able to use the builtin web server and Java client. I realize I could run Apache on the Linux box and serve up the Java client that way. But it would be simpler if I could use the web server built into Xvnc. I have read some posts in the archive on this subject, but I don't quite understand the solution(s) they describe. For instance: (begin quote) > What I'd like to do now is be able to access the Linux box from a web > browser, and be presented with the XDM login screen as I am in the > previous examples. When I type in the 'http://192.168.254.10:5801', all > I am getting is 'There was no response. The server could be down or is > not responding...' (this is from the same Win98 box I connected from > using the VNCviewer program above). I have a similar set up. Make sure your Xservers file contains the -httpd option & path to the VNC classes directory. Eg. for me, this is in my /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers: -httpd /usr/local/vnc/classes along with all the other args to run Xvnc with. (end quote) I don't have any entries in my Xservers file, and I don't know what such an entry would look like. I tried adding the arguments "-httpd /usr/local/vnc/classes" to my inetd.conf entry, but that didn't work. This is hard to diagnose -- I don't have any idea how close this comes to working.
