My reply was based on my old experience, If the documentation says something else, then it shoud be like that. If not, it's a bug (in the documentation or in the tool...) Hence report it as such.

I don't want to be a pain, but your explanation seems to partially contradict the VNC documentation. Here is an excerpt from the docs: * -alwaysshared Always treat new clients as shared (i.e. ignore client's shared flag). -nevershared Never treat new clients as shared (i.e. ignore client's shared flag). -dontdisconnect Don't disconnect existing clients when a new "non-shared" connection comes in. Instead the new connection is refused. New "shared" connections are still allowed in the normal way. * The reason I am trying to use the -alwaysshared option is so that all users will be treated as shared and their client settings will be ignored (overridden) by the server. I am trying to make it easy for clients to connect and share without burdening the users with having to define additional options for their viewers. Unless I am reading this wrong, the -alwaysshared option should do just that and force a shared connection for any number of clients that connect to the server. Also, based on the above excerpts, it should not be necessary to use any additional options beyond the -alwaysshared. Do you know anyone who has got this stuff to work as indicated in the docs? I'm not getting very far with it. Thanks again - Joel -----Original Message----- From: Beerse, Corni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 10:44 AM To: 'Joel E.

How always shared do you want it to be? Share and get double view or share and kick the other off? My experience (with 3.3.3 hence a long time ago) For share and double view, all must be in share mode: the server and all viewers. If the server is NOT in -donnotdisconnect mode, then as soon as a not-shared viewer connects, it disconnects all other viewers If the server is in -donnotdisconnect mode, then as soon as a not-shared viewer connects, it cannot connect sicne it cannot get a not-shared connection. btw: -inetd overrules all shared options.
