I am running RedHat Linux (7.2, 7.3, 8.0, 9.0, ES) and have found that
using Xvnc in -inetd mode works just fine for version 3.3.[4567]
but fails for version 4.0.
My setup (on the server):
/etc/services:
vnc-800x600 5900
/etc/xinetd.d/vnc:
service vnc-800x600
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = :1 -inetd -query localhost -geometry 800x600 -depth 24
-once
}
If I use e.g. a Windows or Linux 3.3.7-version client and connect to mymachine:0
it pops up a gdm-style login screen just as on the machine itself.
Using the version 4.0 server I get a request for a password, which always leads
to an authentication failure whatever I type. If I modify the service to:
service vnc-800x600
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = :1 -securityType=None -inetd -query localhost -geometry
800x600 -depth 24 -once
}
then the connection simply fails with no authentication failure.
Can anyone help me figure out the correct syntax for 4.0 versus 3.3?
Thanks
