In that case, it's quite simple, at least in theory (meaning, I haven't done this). If that is the only user who will *ever* want to own the server, then just make that user the owner of vnc and set the suid bit. If you want to keep the "default" vnc server with the usual owner (root?), then just create a hardlink used for the startup command and suid *that* as above. | | Bri | | On Thu, 12 Dec 2002, Daniel HARTMANN wrote: | > Bonjour, | > | > J'utilise vnc vers ma machine Freebsd. | > | > Mais comment démarrer "vncserver" automatiquement au boot sans | > taper la commande ?? | > | > Merci | > | > | > | > | > | > Dany_H ;-) | | To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] | with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Brian, the man from Babble-On . . . .
