Hello!
I seem to be missing something very basic about setting up VNC - I'm not sure 
it's even quite what I'm looking for. At school, we have remote X access using 
Cygwin (on the client machine)... When you connect to the server, you receive 
the graphical login screen (the "Greeter"). 

What I'm looking to do with VNC is to allow a similar service (sans Cygwin). I 
was thinking I'd create a user account "vnc" with a shared password, and then 
run vncserver from that account, which I would have launch my graphical greeter 
to facilitate system logins. 

I think I'm on the right path - I'm trying to run /usr/bin/gdmgreeter - which 
is what my system is running locally to facilitate graphical logins. I get an 
error from GDM saying that the versions of GDM and GDM-Greeter are out-of-sync, 
and that I shoudl restart my computer. I've done this a couple of times, with 
no success.

I guess what I'm getting at is: is this a GDM problem (it doesn't happen 
locally), or am I trying to run the wrong program through VNC. Has anyone run 
into this snag? Do you know of another way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?



Any help would be greatly appricitated,

Micah Berman
