Susanta: That's OK. There may be a way to do what you want, but *I* don't know of any way to do so. What I am suggesting is that you have people connect to the listening VNC server and log in using XDM/GDM/KDM/etc. and use that to authenticate to whatever network you want. Linux can either be the authentication server or connect to an authentication server to log the user into the network.
As I said, I know very little about how to go about doing that because I don't have a need for that on my single-user system, but I know it's possible. Maybe that's the way to go instead of having a single log-in. -----Original Message----- From: Susanta Padhi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 10:46 AM To: John Aldrich Subject: RE: Xvnc & GDM John, My Xvnc server is running through -xinetd. For every request it starts a new session. So either one is fine 1) when a user connects to the XVNC server, it shows GDM login window so can i automate this with passing a user name from vnc client? assume the user already exit in vnc server with NULL password. 2)Lets DM(display Manager) is configured as auto-login for a single user. Now with -inetd option Xvnc stares a new session every time, So some how can I get in to the new session and set some environment variable that passed from the client? John don't regret, I am new to this and I don't have much idea. I hope you able to understand my broken English. Please give me some alternative if it is impossible.
