If you have more than a view users, better use the setup as on http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp . Only disadvantages, only one viewer to a session (no more, no less). Major advantage: only setup as above and no user specific setup. Users can pick their size and geometry on connecting. (btw: the site focusses on RedHat. COmmercial unixes are even simpler (only /etc/services and inetd configuration needed). > they are allowed to use with Xvnc.

Is it > possible for Xvnc to do this? No. If you want a live list, see the output of `netstat -a` for a base and see if you can filter your live sessions from there. However, it might only list the sessions that have a viewer-server connection, I don't know if it lists servers without a current viewer. > > If it is not possible without further coding in the source, I would > recommend that as a possible future direction.
