I should point out I have only the xvnc and the tigervnc packages installed, i e what seems to be the "base alternatives" for Xvnc

I have these two machines, as far as I can determine identical in all or at least any "important aspect"... I think.

I have added the various entries in /etc/gdm/custom.conf, started and restarted and restarted and disabled and enabled uzw and so on and so forth.

From a third host I now do

vncviewer IPADDRESS

for the respective host.

To one it all works. Seemingly in a stable manner. I have tested for a few days.

On the other host it doesn't work. Not at all. I get

vncviewer <address witheld to protect the strange>

CConn: connected to host <address witheld to protect the strange> port 5900
 main:        End of stream

all the time.

gdm remains up, as does xvnc-inetd. There are no processes that can be associated in any way with the connection attempt.

Ideas anyone?? What might be the problem?? I guess some config detail somewhere, but I'd much rather know what the problem was than just do a clean install and see if a pristine system would fare better...

I tried nmap -A -v to both, and the difference is entirely due to the visibly successful vnc sessions to the functional one.

I hate these Huh, WHAT??? sessions with computers.
