Yes the vncserver script. It is just a perl wrapper for the Xvnc binary. Using an older version loses the new feature of using the /tmp area for vnc files (which was added in 1.2.5, haven't looked at it so I don't know details). Another option that has been floated around is to comment out part of the script that are causing errors, but I found it easier just to use the 1.2.4 script. -- William _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
