I am having trouble getting vnc to work with the -inetd option and would appreciate some assistance. I am a relative newbie so your patience is appreciated. I have searched the archives for several hours before this.
I have a fresh installation of RH7.2 (also tried RH7.1), using KDE 2.2. Starting vncserver from the console works fine. Between old archive entries and Jeff Vencent's faq on sourcecodecorner.com I have tried to setup Xvnc from xinetd. I only get a grey screen on the viewer (no login/password), which Jeff seems to indicate should be a problem with xdmcp. I checked UDP port 177 with nmap as suggested and it's closed so I guess that's the problem. I have changed these 2x lines in kdmrc (previously commented out): [Xdmcp] Enable=true Port=177 and for Xaccess I uncommented one line to read: any host can get a login windows previously '#* #any host can get a login window' Also commented out 'DisplayManager.requestPort: 0' in xdm-config. All other lines the original defaults supplied with RH7.2 apart from the new entries in services and xinetd. What have I missed?
