Not cooking yet but at least a slow poaching. I looked in the /etc/rc.d/rc5.d directory and found a pointer file (K35vncserver@) pointing to ../init.d/vncservers.
I assume that the rc5 refers to a boot-level 5 maybe? This looked sorta promising so I checked out ../init.d/vncservers and inside that bash script are a couple of lines that look promising: VNCSERVERS="" [ -f /etc/sysconfig/vncservers] && . /etc/sysconfig/vncservers I checked my bash reference but I couldn't find anything that could tell me exactly what those two lines ought to do. /etc/sysconfig/vncservers is where I put my two commands that I hoped would automatically start the vncservers. What do those two lines do ... and talk slow, I live in the South. Kidding aside, thanks for your help Steven. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Kuhn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 2:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Autostart for VNC On Wed, 2002-11-20 at 02:38, Carter Harris wrote: > I downloaded and installed the TightVNC rpm for VNC.

Other than that, you should be cooking. -- Wed Nov 20 06:15:00 EST 2002 -------------------------------- | __ __ | | / \ /| |'-. | | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | | | / \__.`=._) (_ |kuhn media australia | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| |http://kma.0catch.com | |'. `\ | | |stephen kuhn | ;"""/ / | | |email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| |mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' " " |linux user:267497 -------------------------------- The big problem with pornography is defining it. You can't just say it's pictures of people naked. For example, you have these primitive African tribes that exist by chasing the wildebeest on foot, and they have to go around largely naked, because, as the old tribal saying goes: "N'wam k'honi soit qui mali," which means, "If you think you can catch a wildebeest in this climate and wear clothes at the same time, then I have some beach front property in the desert region of Northern Mali that you may be interested in." So it's not considered pornographic when National Geographic publishes color photographs of these people hunting the wildebeest naked, or pounding one rock onto another rock for some primitive reason naked, or whatever. But if National Geographic were to publish an article entitled "The Girls of the California Junior College System Hunt the Wildebeest Naked," some people would call it pornography. But others would not. And still others, such as the Spectacularly Rev. Jerry Falwell, would get upset about seeing the wildebeest naked. -- Dave Barry, "Pornography"
