Done! I know that XDMCP is working because it is allowing X connections
from thin clients (diskless NCDs)

I did not receive this file, however this is what my /etc/services looks
like:
vnc-640x480x8 5950/tcp # vnc server IP
vnc-800x600x8 5951/tcp # vnc server IP
vnc-800x600x16 5952/tcp # vnc server IP

I did not recieve this file, however this is what my
/etc/xinetd.d/vnc-640x480x8 file looks like
service vnc-640x480x8
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd -broadcast -once -geometry
640x480 -depth 8
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
}

When I do this xinit restart command I get some errors:
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running
Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't
already run

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
Please report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
giving up.
xinit: unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
These errors seem to occur whether the vnc files are in the
/etc/xinetd.d direcotry or not :-(
