Has anyone sucessfully set up vnc server on a redhat box so that it lauches prior to logon?
I want to be able to carry the vnc client on a floppy and walk around my WAN and be able to open a seesion from any workstation and log onto my redhat box as any user. Jeff Vincent wrote an informative article @ www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp - but I could not seem to be able to make it work. All I got when I opened my VNC client is the x window background and an x pointer - but no login prompt. Also the article does not seem to work with RH7.3 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After all, it has for Debian. To start a vncserver, you typically type: vncserver :A -geometry XxY -depth Z where A is the display number, X and Y are the geometry of the desired desktop and Z is the number of bits to use for colour. -- Phil Reynolds (PGP now available) o ____ Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |L_ \ / Web: http://www.tinsleyviaduct.com/phil/ (_)- \/ Waltham 67, Emley Moor 69, Droitwich 79, Windows 95 _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
