I am starting Xvnc from xinetd, so there is no ~/.vnc directory.  Is there
anywhere else that it might write a log file ?

What I have done:
1. Edit xdm-config
- The last line now reads: ! DisplayManager.requestPort:   0

2. Edit 'kdmrc' and enable XDMCP
- the top of the XDMCP section of the kdmrc now reads.
[Xdmcp]
Enable=true

- It does not ask for a port.

4. Edit Xaccess enabel access
- Done, line reads:  *       #any host

5. Update the /etc/services
- Done:  vnc             5950/tcp

6. Update xinetd configuration
Done - Taken directly from
http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp#vncserver.xinetd

Reboot

Error in the /var/log/messages when I try to connect:
Jan 13 10:38:42 [xinetd] START: vnc pid=1734 from=192.168.0.2
Jan 13 10:38:42 [xinetd] FAIL: vnc address from=192.168.0.2

I wish I knew what it means.

Thanks,

Matt
