woops I meant I was trying (wait) to get a persistent session
(nowait) works great with port ( 5900 ) (nowait) hickups with port ( 59xx) first connect gets greys screen, second-xx connection, works great. Ok I also tried adding -fp unix/:7100 (it did not make any difference) Stephen Bovy Computer Associates 6100 Center Drive Suite 700 Los Angeles, CA 90045 Tel: (310) 957-3930 Fax: (310) 957-3917 Mobile: (818) 352-9917 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bovy, Stephen J Sent: Friday, May 12, 2006 3:10 PM To: Jeff Vincent Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: inetd and port 59(xx) gives me empty test patterngreyscreen ??? Thanks Jeff, Yup, basically been there done almost all of that stuf I was running as root that did not help Yes I know XDMCP is working I connect in using several different x-win managers such as cygwin x-win yes I have the font server up and running xdeep32 is another free x-win manager works great (: the only thing I have not tried yet is using etc/services... I was trying "nowait" to establish a persistent session "wait" works great as long as I use port ( 5900 ) hmm I guess I could try adding -fp unix/:7100 what does the unix/ mean ??? Hey Jeff please try reply-all so that you include the mail-list in our thread discussion this mail list is kind-of weird most mail lists do not include the subscribers email it is kind of confusing Stephen Bovy Computer Associates 6100 Center Drive Suite 700 Los Angeles, CA 90045 Tel: (310) 957-3930 Fax: (310) 957-3917 Mobile: (818) 352-9917 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Vincent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 12, 2006 2:40 PM To: Bovy, Stephen J Subject: RE: inetd and port 59(xx) gives me empty test patterngreyscreen ??? Boy, it's been a while for me for those older versions. Here is a brain dump...it may not all apply to RH 6.2 or your situation, but something may help (shotgun approach ;-). This is all based on past usage of VNC 3.2.x versions. Here is a couple of lines from the /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf files I normally include when I do similar things. #/etc/services vnc-1280x1024x24 5973/tcp #/etc/inetd.conf vnc-1024x768x24 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -once -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24 In this configuration, connect using the VNC service 192.168.0.22:73 (substitute your IP). I wasn't worried about security in our labs where I use this a lot so I use "root" as the user to run the Xvnc binary. There can be rights issues for Xvnc and the 'nobody' or 'james' users. Some operating systems don't allow users with a UID > 1024 to access/run certain things. You might try adding root just to eliminate that issue Also, I have known issues when the X Font server wasn't running (xfs), but don't recall if that is an issue on RH 6.2. Once you get xvf to start when booted, then you can add: -fp unix/:7100 (or whatever port yours is using). If you are running in inetd mode, you shouldn't need to require the '-passwordfile' option as the inetd method gives you at a new session with a GUI login prompt. There may be reasons to require a password to even attach via VNC, I just haven't seen it done. As far as XDMCP being enabled...I've never used xdeep32 so I don't know how it works. But as a sanity check, I'd still verify the display manager settings. In that version of RH, if it is running gdm I think it uses the xdm configuration files in /etc/X11/xdm. If there is a file called xdm-config, comment out the last line ! DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 and then in Xaccess, uncomment the line: * #any host can get a login window Newer versions of gdm use a gdm.conf file. If you are using kdm, there might be a file called kdmrc that you can look at. I check the display manager I am running by doing 'ps -ef | grep dm' and see what it finds. Let us know how it goes. -Jeff >>> On Fri, May 12, 2006 at 2:22 PM, in message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Bovy, Stephen J" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for responding > > I am using redhat 6.2 (yes I know it is old) (: > > IN this case I think the default is gdm > > But XDMCP is enabled and working > > I am using win32 xdeep32.exe x- win manager to connect to xdmcp desk > top no problem > > And if you re- read my email > > inetd with port (5900) works perfectly with - query xxx - once > > the only time things get "buggy" is when I try to use { 59(xx) } as a > port address (: > > > > Stephen Bovy > Computer Associates > 6100 Center Drive > Suite 700 > Los Angeles, CA 90045 > Tel: (310) 957- 3930 > Fax: (310) 957- 3917 > Mobile: (818) 352- 9917 > e- mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ----- Original Message----- > From: Jeff Vincent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, May 12, 2006 1:04 PM > To: Bovy, Stephen J > Subject: Re: inetd and port 59(xx) gives me empty test pattern > greyscreen ??? > > Usually means XDMCP is not enabled.
