I have VNC server running on several RedHat 8 and 9 boxes. Installed to be invoked by xinetd.

I use :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/vnc
service vnc
{
disable = no
protocol = tcp
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd -query localhost -once -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16
}


To invoke the server. On one machine I cannot connect. If I telnet to the machine port 5900 instead of the RFB... message I get

Fatal server error:            Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again.
Connection to host lost.

Since display 0 is the local X server on the box ....

I have manually started Xvnc and that works... I can't figure out what's different between this machine and the others. Why would it try to start as display 0?

Thanks,
