What you need here is: :1 LocalVNC1 local@none .../Xvnc -geometry YYY [other VNC options as required] and in your dtlogin resource file (Xconfig on my Solaris system, I don't know what it will be on yours): *LocalVNC1.terminateServer: true It may also be useful to do something like: *LocalVNC1.environment: VNC=true so your login script can tell (by looking for $VNC) when you are running inside VNC. See the dtlogin manual page for a full list of the resources you can use. This will start the server properly (you don't need the extra stuff done by the vncserver script] and will terminate it and restart when you logout. You may still want to use a script to start Xvnc if the option list is long - if the line gets too long in Xservers, it is silently truncated. Useful options to use for Xvnc would include the font path; use a font server if available, so you get exactly the same font set as if you were sitting at the console. This has been tested and confirmed to work on a Solaris system using CDE. The -query, by the way, should only be used if the server is *not* being started from Xservers - it tells the X server (Xvnc) to connect to the named XDMCP host to get managed. If you're running through Xservers, it's already managed. Likewise, -once shouldn't be used here - the X display manager should manage the starting and terminating of the X server itself. - -- Grant McDorman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Sr. Software Design Consultant Cedara Software Corp. <URL:http://www.cedara.com> (formerly I.S.G.
