Hello! Mark as always, you are indeed quite correct. Dennis, this comes from my experiences with VNC and an Intel based Slackware system: base port is in the 5900 area. First one gets 5901, and then each one is incremented by one from there. The web based screen that uses Java to do the same as regular VNC does, uses the 5800 area, 5801 and so on. (We won't go into how Linux assigns users and home directories.)
To change things as you're interested in doing would require a major rewrite of the code behind it, and to be honest I am not even sure it would be possible. Now if I have made any mistakes in my assertions there, please feel free to offer corrections. Usual prizes are available for those of you who do find any need for them. However Dennis I'll gladly accept something hanging around your place of work as long as it's not too big to fit into the mails. -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The Force will be with you.
