Howdy VNC Folks,
I'm still having some trouble with this process. I examined the options
for Xvnc with
xvnc --help
and saw two options that should work for trying to get the java applet
running with xinetd
httpPort - TCP port to listen for HTTP (default=0)
httpd - Directory containing files to serve via HTTP
So I modified my file for xinetd located in /etc/xinetd.d/vnc to be
------------- screen clip
> cat vnc-server
service vnc-server
{
# flags = REUSE
# type = UNLISTED
# port = 5901
id = 5901
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd -query localhost -once -geometry
1280x1024 -depth 16 -securitytypes=VncAuth -PasswordFile -httpPort 5801
-http /usr/share/vnc/classes /usr/local/vnc/vncpasswd
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}
---------------- end clip -------
Note that the server_args line is wrapped in the emailer. I have added
in the two option to specify the port as 5801 and pointed to the
location of the subdirectory that contains the files.
If I start xinetd with this option, it seems to allocate the :1 screen,
in that if I try a simple "vncserver" command as non-root it assigns :2
as the next screen. However, the xinetd version is unreachable either
with vncviewer or with a browser giving a connection refused for
vncviewer and a prompt box about connection broken, reconnect? from the
browser. So it seems that these options are breaking Xvnc in some way.
Note that it works find with the viewer if the two options are omitted,
and a regular setup using vncserver allows access to both the viewer
and java, all ports are accessible.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how this should be implemented or what
I am doing wrong here? Any advice appreciated.
