Is your goal to make the Debian box act the same as the Redhat box? If so then the second article won't help you. All you are missing is the scripts used to start VNC at bootup. On the Redhat machine they are /etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver and /etc/sysconfig/vncservers . Copy these two scripts to your Debian machine and then add the vncserver to the boot sequence (I'm not familiar with Debian on that, but making links to the appropriate rc#.d directory should work). The path for "/etc/sysconfig/vncservers" can be adjusted to your liking by editing the "/etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver" script. Side Note: Why didn't they name them a little more different! For the record, "vncserver" is a shell script, "vncservers" (note the 's') is a config file. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
