Hi Mike,
I think these steps should set you up to it.
1. Edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf to enable XDMCP.
To do this, go to the section
[xdmcp]
and set
Enable=1
2. In the /etc/services file add
vnc 5951/tcp
3. In the /etc/xinetd.d create a file called vnc as follows:
service vnc
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
port = 5951
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/local/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd -desktop gnome -broadcast -once -ac
-geometry 1024x768 -depth 8 -rfbwait 120000 -rfbport 5951 -httpport 5851 -co
/usr/lib/X11/rgb
}
4. run init 3 and init 5 to restart your xsession.
Please keep in mind that the port 177 should be open.
You can verify this by running netstat -nap > netstat.out as root and
verifying for this.
You should look for something like this in netstat.out
OR using this su -c "nmap -sU localhost", look for 177/udp XDMCP.
Then you should be able to login using your vncviewer yourmachine:51.
HTH,
Cheers
