Hi

I set up vnc on a pc under mandrake 8.2

my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file contains the following
(1 2 3 and 4 are just line numbers. they are not present in the file)

#
#  to start and stop  vncserver
#

case "$1" in
        start )
                #clean lock files
                rm -f -r /tmp/.X*

                #start vncserver
                echo -n "Starting vnc: "

                su - root     -c "vncserver :1"
                echo
                sleep 5

                su - philippe -c "vncserver :2"
                echo
                sleep 5

                su - rasika   -c "vncserver :3"
                echo
                sleep 5 
                
 1              su - testtest -c "vncserver :4"
 2              echo 
 3              sleep 5 
                
                touch /var/lock/subsys/vncserver
                ;;
        stop )
                # stop vncserver
                echo -n "Shutting down vnc: "

                su - root     -c "vncserver -kill :1"
                su - philippe -c "vncserver -kill :2"
                su - rasika   -c "vncserver -kill :3"
 4              su - testtest -c "vncserver -kill :4" 
                
                echo "done"
                rm -f /var/lock/subsys/vncserver
                ;;
        *)

        echo "Usage: named {start|stop}"
        exit 1
esac
exit 0


when the lines 1 to 4 are removed everything is fine I can reach runlevel 5
and I can reach the first 3 accounts using vnc from another machine

when I add the llines 1 to 4  I cannot reach runlevel 5, I stay at run 
level 3
all four instances of vnc server are created ( I do not have problem 
accessing them from another machine with vnc)
but I get the following message

INIT: switching to runlevel 3
INIT: sending processes the TERM signal
starting hpoj:  [OK]

if i press return I get the prompt to enter login.
I can log in with no problem but I cannot reach level 5

Can anyone tell me what is wrong?


Thanks in advance
