This is one of the coolest ways to use VNC in my opinion.
Here is my xinetd configuration to do what you want to do:
service vnc
{
disable = no
id = vnc
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd -NeverShared -geometry 1024x768 -query
localhost -once -securitytypes=none
log_on_failure += USERID
}
(Not that the serverargs are all on one line, no matter how my evolution
email client decides to mangle it.)
Put this in /etc/xinetd.d/vnc.
Put a line:
vnc 5900/tcp
in your /etc/services
and restart xinetd.
You may need to configure gdm, kdm, or xdm to allow tcp XDMCP
connections. For gdm this is in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, I think. On
redhat or fedora, you can do it from the "start" menu:
system settings->login screen
When you connect to servername:5900 you will get a login screen from gdm
(or whatever).
Neatest thing since sliced bread, I say. :-)
