Re: [osol-discuss] How to allow multiple users have different VNC sessions on OpenSolaris?
Halton, I tried, but doesn't work on nv112 x86 servers. Sigh. Also, the Desktop Sharing method doesn't work if the remote server (to access)has no keyboard or mouse,i.e, if the remote machine is not log in, or if the log in menu is shown, then, all other users can not access it. Below is the error I got on an Sparc server.

nola, I tried the link, but his method does not work for nv112. Sigh. Tom -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

You could follow these instructions: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=361235 To setup multiple Xvnc servers running on multiple ports (5901, 5902, 5903, ...) Give each user his/her own port. This will be an individual desktop for each user.

Guess you're still use vino here. Disable vino, then configure XDMCP with steps that Chavdar Ivanov gave you. [quote] - edit /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf to contain: [xdmcp] Enable=true [security] DisallowTCP=false $ pfexec svcadm enable xvnc-inetd $ pfexec svcadm restart gdm (that will log you out, obviously).

[osol-discuss] How to allow multiple users have different VNC sessions on OpenSolaris?
Hi, Thanks for everyone helping me out on the previous post about VNC setup. The method is to enable Desktop Sharing: System --> Preferences --> Desktop Sharing I re-installed nv112 and it works! I guess the reason why I failed is that I tried some scripts before then this method did not work. However, there is still an issue remains, ie. all users get the same Desktop picture which is troublesome if several people need to access it at the same time. Before, I used to edit "/etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf" and use "svcadm enable xvnc-inetd" "svcadm enable gdm" etc to enable vnc server on the remote machine. These scripts can allow several users work independently. However, this method ceased to work in recent OpenSolaris.
