I'm using Andre Moreira's inetd hack for VNC (it's actually in the
standard distribution now..) to launch VNC from inetd. His documentation
is here:

http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/~andre/extern/ixvnc.htm

Problem: whether or not I have an xdm running locally, all I get is a grey
screen!

Here's the appropriate entry in /etc/inetd.conf:

vncserver  stream  tcp nowait orly /opt/vnc/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd \
  -query tara -once -geometry 800x600 -depth 24

As you notice, I'm not using the "-broadcast" switch which he recommends,
because I don't want Xvnc sending out XDMCP requests. Instead I tell it
where to query for XDMCP.

But, as I said earlier, I don't see anything but the X moire screen.

I'm trying to set up an app server to run StarOffice on, using VNC for
remote access, because we have a lot of old PC's that are too slow to run
Linux + StarOffice.
