Hi Michael,
I have succeeded to work TurboVNC via xinetd on CentOS server.
The servers have been used by many users on demand.
I think you need to specify some font paths into your xinetd file.
If you get the following errors when you run Xvnc with query option:
#--------------------------

then, you should set the font paths to Xvnc:

You can see the exact locations of your font and the other options
using ps command after running Xvnc with "/opt/TurboVnc/bin/vncserver".
Good luck !

Hi all,
I am trying to run turbovnc via xinetd to spawn a X11 session on
demand. This works well when using the default RHEL vnc server (Xvnc
Free Edition 4.1.2) but not if run with TurboVNC. I am on 1.0.90
(20120309) and using simple arguments
-inetd -query localhost -once -geometry 640x480 -depth 16
which work for the RHEL vnc server quite nicely. TurboVNC however
refuses to start.
If I am doing a strace of the Xvnc process when started manually, I
can see that shortly after getting a pid assigned it stops with

Did anyone experience similar things and/or is anyone using TurboVNC
successfully with -inetd option ?
Many thanks,
Michael.
