I set on my Linux Debian 3.0 box a system with VNC, xinetd and XDM.
 
Everything works fine.
 
The drawback of this technique is that only on client can connect on a display at a 
time. But there is a workaround which works fine to connect additional users, which 
consists in using vncconnect. Additional users have vncviewer running on their 
computer and listening. The first user who started a VNC display connects all the 
other users using vncconnect.
 
That's what I'm doing and it work sfine as well, except that if one of the users is 
not connected or has not his vncviewer listening then vncconnect hang, everything is 
blocked.
Detaching the process with '&' doesn't work.
I tried to wrap vncconnect in a python script and set a time delay before killing the 
process but it doesn't work either.
 
Does anyone has an idea on how to set a timeout on vncconnect?
 
Thanks
