What is the different of VNC & others?
I need to know the differences between different products: VNC PCanywhere Citrix RDP in regards of LINUX / LINUX, Windows 2000 / Windows (CE, ME, ...), and mixed, like Linux / Windows or Windows / Linux I also want to know if any of these products can use the local USB port, even if connected / working on the server. bye Ronald ** Scanned by eScan Content-Security and Anti-Virus Software.

Hello all, I have 2 questions: 1) Can someone please tell me how to set KDE as my default WM for all vncviewer sessions? I assume that it has to do with the .vnc/xstartup script.

RE: Solaris 9 OE & VNC :: Any Experience??
Thanks Corni, That "-query localhost" option did get it working again. However just for clarification, I deleted the "twm &" line from my xstartup file and replaced it with "dtwm &" (with /usr/dt/bin & /usr/openwin/bin in my PATH) and it worked for me for a short while. It also did so without having to do "dtlogin" to the CDE. Then it mysteriously quit working. Also, on Solaris, you still have to "chmod 1777 /tmp/.X11-unix" before trying to run a vncserver or it crashes immediately.

I think twm (the default configured window manager in ~/.vnc/xstartup) is not configured at your system. Try the option '-query localhost', it will give you a login session insite vnc.

If security is not an issue, it is no problem to have inetd start Xvnc
including some apps. There are several routes to do so. My idea:
Setup a user ('specialuser') and its vncserver setup, including dedicated
~/.vnc/xstartup scripts and vnc-password. Then create an inetd 'commandline'
as follows:
special-vnc stream tcp nowait specialuser /usr/local/bin/vncserver vncserver
-inetd
(the above is 1 line). You might add options like '-once' or geometry or
depth specifications. However, you can also create a special vncserver
script (it's perl, so you must be able to create one) Best NOT to specify
the -inetd in the scipt but have that specified from the commandline and
pass trough to Xvnc, for easy testing.
Note: inetd will start a new session for every connection, so if the sessins
do not end automatically, you should specify -once to clear lost sessions.
As for the XDMCP options: They are not required if you use inetd, it's just
