Since you didn't have the XFree86-libs installed I wouldn't be surprised if you don't have this installed. If you don't have it, your choices are: 1) Edit the vncserver script to not use xauth (after reading up on the security ramifications of doing this, of course). 2) Install XFree86-4.2.1-13.73.23.i386.rpm It appears that in the case of Red Hat 7.3 xauth didn't have it's own RPM, so you basically have to install all of X to get it. I imagine that you will have some depenencies to track down for this one (XFree86-base-fonts and XFree86-xfs jump out at me). Again, using up2date (or apt or yum) would be preferred. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
