it's a unix server. That gives some calarity. And for you to get telnet access. > > How do I "Check the password or force it to your known password?" Either check the vnc password file (in the ~/.vnc directory), has it's date changed? Or just force it with `vncpasswd` to the password you provide. I hope Xvnc does read the file for every password check and has no internal copy of the password. A last idea is that the vncserver port is hyjacked by an other application. Just an idea, i don't know how to recover from this. An other thing is to give Xvnc a signal to stay alive (hence not -9..) Try the -hup signal. Check your local manual pages on `kill` and `signal` for details.
