Ok. Created other users in the system with useradd/passwd Edited the vncserver file in /etc/sysconfig to look something like this: VNCSERVERS="1:jdimpson 2:phred 3:sysadmin" Then: /etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver restart It shut down my root session & daemon never came back up. I regret doing this ; there's no one that can start the vncserver at the console until the day after tomorrow. The passwd file then only exists for root. ok, Just manually create a passwd file in the user's home directories and that would do it? OR does a password has to be written/specified manually in that file? Thanks again! Angel

No, /root/.vnc/passwd is only used for the root user. Notice the "su -" in front of the command. This changes to the assigned user and starts VNC. Using their example of jdimpson, you would need a /home/jdimpson/.vnc/passwd file. If this file doesn't exist, the jdimpson VNC session wouldn't start. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
