I have recently had the same problem, I suspect that you need a newer version of VNC to make this work right. I got it with vnc-3.3.3r2-14. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Some Guy Sent: Sunday, March 25, 2001 11:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Help - Mandrake Linux - Starting VNCServer Automatically at boot? Hi list. I just started using Linux, and I need to know the hard-and-fast way to startup the server for x-number of users automatically at bootup. Note, this is just a project right now, so security can be low. Also, note that I searched and searched the archives and docs, but I can't get anything to work. I tried this solution on /etc/rc.d/rc.local: # VNC server startup echo -n "Starting VNCServer at :1 for root ..." /path/to/vncserver :1 echo " Done." # end That DOES NOT WORK (and yes I replace that info with mine) as it hangs the bootup and doesn't start the server to boot! Someone mentioned enabling xdm, but I don't know what that is. I'm not asking for Linux lessons, just a way to get this to work FAST. Remember, security can be low. Thanks list! Doug.
