[CentOS] Centos 6 - x11vnc auto probing to port 5903

2012-05-06 Thread aurfalien
Hi all,

I was at one time able to get x11vnc to start on 5900 but for some reason its 
listening on port 5903.

Here is what the logs say;

-- snippet
X display :0.0

-- snippet
The VNC desktop is:  hostname:3

Why is the VNC desktop going to 3?

I was working on 5900 previous to a reboot, unsure what changed, but something 
obviously has.

It is an upper port > 1023, it is entirely possible that 5900, 5901, 
5902 were used by outgoing connections at the time service 
establishment, and VNC just chose the next available port.
