<Replying to all> ;-) I don't recall right off what the "unix" means in the font path, but is the URI format required to connect to a broadcasting font server. I'll look for the info later.
As far as /etc/services, I thought that /etc/services was mandatory for using Xvnc in inetd mode because they work together. /etc/services defines a service name and tells the inetd superserver which port to listen on and which network protocols it uses. Then when a request comes in that matches, inetd uses the info from /etc/inetd.conf to know how to launch the process for that service. Theoretically, wait mode is for persistent sessions, but I've never used it. I have always used nowait mode or configured the sharing of display:0. As I type this, I am vaguely recalling an issue with inetd not working correctly on a certain Linux distro...maybe this is that case...hmm. I need to research that one. >>> On Fri, May 12, 2006 at 4:09 PM, in message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Bovy, Stephen J" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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.
