the problem in inetd with wait mode

[?? ?]

thanks for your reply ,
I wrote two files in /etc/xinet.d/ ,file my_vnc_nowait  is nowait mode,and 
my_vnc_wait is the wait mode ,as following :


service my_vnc_nowait
{
   socket_type  = stream
   wait = no
   user = nobody
   serve= /usr/local/bin/Xvnc
   server_args= -inetd -query 127.0.0.1 -once -geometry 
1024x768

   disable  = no
}
service my_vnc_wait
{
   socket_type  = stream
   wait = yes
   user = root
   server   = /usr/local/bin/Xvnc
   server_args= -inetd -query 127.0.0.1 -once 
passwordFile=/root/.vnc/passwd -geometry 1024x768

   disable  = no
}

surprisingly , the "nowait mode" can work well .But the wait mode, when 
connect to the wait mode port , it told :  " read:Connection reset by peer 
(10054)  "


why ? how to make it work ?

That article may be a bit out of date.  Take a look at the Xvnc man page
section on 'USAGE WITH INETD'

  http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/man/Xvnc.html

You want to run Xvnc with inetd's "wait" option.  I'm using this locally
and it seems to address all of your concerns about multiple connections,
session persistance and desktop sharing.  Check it out.

screen size

[Qgh Rohgy]

Hello all,

I am vnc'ing from my Windows machine(home) to my
RedHat Linux machine(office).

My problem is that I am unable to view full screen
size of my Linux machine on my Windows machine. That
is I see a small screen of my office machine with a
lot of black space surrounding it. I am unable to
resize this too.

I have also changed the xstartup script on my Linux
home .vnc directory to state -
xterm - geometry 1024 X 768+10+10 -ls - title
"$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &

I am not sure whether this is the right way to do.

Please advice as I would like to see full screen of my
office machone on my home machine.

Many Thanks,
qgh

New To VNC-First Post

[Mark Sarria]

I have a general question, it probably has been answered "many a times", but
I would like to know if I can connect to a computer in another part of the
world? Meaning I travel a lot between Nicaragua and California. When I am in
Nicaragua, I would some times like to connect to my server in California,
and vice versa (California to Nicaragua)

Is this possible with VNC, and what would I need (network
setup/configuration)to make this happen?

Thanks

Re: Xvnc 4.X and inetd on Solaris

[Jeff Hall]

I am also using Solaris on Sparc but I'm using OpenWindows rather than
CDE. I am no expert on CDE but I believe the dtlogin program is the XDMCP
listener and therefore you need to get a corrected dtlogin program or
switch to the OpenWindows xdm program.

RE: SAR703 router - final success with port forwarding - ppp_0

[Martin Burch]

Here's what I now get when listing forwarded ports.  As I said, before I had
ppp_device under the Interface column, and VNC didn't work.  But with ppp-0
it does.

BTW, do I need to do udp as well as tcp protocols for RealVNC?

 #  InterfacePort/proto  New IP addr  Flags
 1  ppp-05800/tcp192.168.7.7  (No i/f)
 2  ppp-05800/udp192.168.7.7  (No i/f)
 3  ppp-05900/tcp192.168.7.7  (No i/f)
 4  ppp-05900/udp192.168.7.7  (No i/f)
 5  ppp-05500/tcp192.168.7.7  (No i/f)
 6  ppp-05500/udp192.168.7.7  (No i/f)

John, my SAR703's html control panel doesn't feature port forwarding - I do
it with telnet commands (or now using Bob's ADSL Router Configuration
Utility).  And it doesn't look anything like the 715's html control panel.
So how close they are in their family isn't certain. :-)

RE: Vncviewer locks Fedora3 Linux box on connection

[John Aldrich]

Hate to tell you this, but I don't think it's a problem in Fedora or VNC, as
I'm using Fedora Core 3 and VNC4 to access my machine at home.

How are you starting the server and how are you connecting to the server?
Maybe it's something there?

Subject: Vncviewer locks Fedora3 Linux box on connection


Configuration VNC client to target Linux / Fedora
machine.

I also get the problem that the target (VNC server)
machine running Fedora 3 hangs when connecting to it
using VNC 4 - and no problem whne running Fedora 2 and
VNC 4 on the target (VNC Server) machine.

I have tried three different releases of the FC3
kernel and they all cause the machine to hang

As described in other post - the problem symptoms
suggest the problem is a hang in X-server (client?) on
the VNC server machine.

I have no such problems using a Fedora 2 kernel on the
machine.

I am reluctant to do lots of testing as the target
machine only can be recovered by performing power down
- then there result lots of inode / directory messages
upon restart when fsck is run. I am really concerned
about corrupting the target Fedora file system if I
experiment too much connecting to it using VNC or
running the target machine for hours with FC3 without
connecting using VNC.

Is this an accepted bug in VNC?

Is it going to be investigated?

I'm prepared to test any fix code.

RE: connecting via Internet

[John Aldrich]

You say it's not behind a firewall. How is it connected to the internet? Is
the server on a DSL/Cable connection? If so, the modem is probably a
modem/router so you don't have the "true" IP address. Keep in mind that ANY
192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x IP is NOT routeable and will not be reachable from
the internet.

I've been monitoring this list for a few weeks as I was struggling with
establishing a RealVNC session from the internet through my SAR703 ADSL NAT
modem/router to my computer on my peer-to-peer LAN.  I'd had it working
within my LAN for months with no problems.

I have finally succeeded by simply trying something not mentioned by anyone!
When port forwarding, I had been setting up the "ppp_device" interface with
the port number, protocol and target IP.  But by chance I saw "ppp-0" as an
alternative in Bob's ADSL Router Configuration Utility
(www.ukbonkers.karoo.net) so set up the same rules but with this as the
interface.  Success!  My cousin (without altering his router) could control
my WinXP desktop from his WinXP desktop over ADSL 60 miles away.  Of course,
the manual only mentions "ppp_device"!

Any explanations about this interface thingy from the techies out there
would be of interest.  And I hope this helps the newbies/beginners - if you
want I can do a step-by-step to how I did it.

logs and xstartup file from solaris vnc - can't get dtsession to start - still getting grey xwindow

[pheonix1t]

hello,
subject line says it all.
I posted a previous message, basically I installed solaris and it ran a 
few times with the 'twm' as the desktop.
I changed it to the 'dtsession' with the correct path, but it still 
shows grey xwindow.
Now, it has the 2 purple folders that show when you first log into a CDE 
session.  I can open and close them, browse through them, but it doesn't 
show the rest of the CDE desktop.

Most of the desktop is still the grey Xwindow.

I've attached the log files and a copy of the xstartup file.

If you feel it's necessary, I can also attach the vncserver file I 
modified.  I have the same one working on another solaris box and it 
works fine - but if that helps you to troubleshoot this, I'll be glad to 
do that.

Thank you,

Oskar

That article may be a bit out of date.  Take a look at the Xvnc man page
section on 'USAGE WITH INETD' 

  http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/man/Xvnc.html

You want to run Xvnc with inetd's "wait" option.  I'm using this locally
and it seems to address all of your concerns about multiple connections,
session persistance and desktop sharing.  Check it out.

What's funny is this screen shot:

Where they use ULTRA VNC to do the file transfers.  Does UltraVNC know
about this?

RE: IP address

[John Aldrich]

Don't know if this has been mentioned before or not, but the XP firewall
from SP2 will block VNC unless you disable the firewall and/or allow it in
the firewall. Also, if you're connecting through some sort of NAT router,
you MUST port-forward port 5900 at a bare minimum. There are other ports as
well, depending on if you're trying to use the Java client or do a reverse
connect.

Your previous reply:-

 This is the IP address we obtained through "whatismyipaddress"
Your IP address is 220.240.153.221

I have been on the other machine and went into DOS and below is the IP that 
it came up with.

Neither works.

Does this give you a clue as to what may be the problem with connecting?

RE: IP address

[James Weatherall]

John,

The 10.1.x.x address is a LAN IP address, while the 220.240.x.x address is
the Internet IP address allocated to your router by your ISP.  If you have a
NAT router that the VNC server computer is connected to then you'll need to
configure the router to forward connections on port 5900 through to the
server.

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.

Re: Real VNC Enterprise Edition

[Ketan Parikh]

Ross,

There are various ways of configuring your VNC server.

First of all, You can configure VNC so that it will prompt the local user to 
accept incoming connections. Though, this situation will not work if the 
user trying to connect remotely is an administrator. Administrators bypass 
"Prompt local user to accept connections" setting.


Secondly, The local user will never be thrown off, though you can configure 
VNC so that when a remote connection is established the local user inputs 
are disabled. This means that the local user will not be able to use the 
local mouse or keyboard.


Third, VNC uses a sharing desktop method. what this means is that if you do 
allow the local user to have access to the local mouse and keyboard while 
VNC session is in progress then both of you will be sharing the desktop. You 
will not get a new desktop for yourself. Both the users will work on the 
same desktop.


Enterprise edition handles two simultaneous users in the same way as VNC 
free edition. There are no differences there. To View a comparison between 
all 3 editions of VNC please go to http://www.realvnc.com/download.html.


The above configuration settings also apply for personal edition.

Hope this helps.

Ketan

Subject: Real VNC Enterprise Edition


I have a question about the VNC Enterprise Edition in anticipation of 
probably

buying a copy.

I want to integrate the Windows sign on process on Windows XP Home SP2
computer with the
VNC sign on process.

The computer in question will have two accounts on it.  One account will 
be

for a local user sitting at the
local keyboard, monitor and mouse, and one account for myself who will be
accessing the computer
remotely.

My question is:

 If I access the computer remotely while the local user is sitting at the
keyboard, monitor and mouse
 what will happen, i.e.
 i.  I will be refused access?
ii.  The local user will be thrown off?
   iii.   Both users will be able to use their respective accounts?

  Basically how does the enterprise edition handle two simultaneous users?

  Also will the personal edition support the scenario described above?

Again:make the vnc as a standard service in linux

[?? ?]

I have read the article wrote by Jeremy Impson at
http://linuxjournal.com/article/5499.
He said that there are 2 ways to make the vnc a service ,but also pointed 
out  both have drawbacks :
Some distributions like Fc3  set the vncserver boot script (in 
/etc/init.d/vncserver) to come up at boot,but this configuration doesn't 
scale well for multiple users. You could define many VNC sessions in the 
/etc/sysconfig/vncservers file to start up at boot. But all of these VNC 
desktops will be idle until they are used. all of these take up RAM.
with the xinetd method ,  the VNC server  start a new desktop for every 
connection, disallows multiple connections to one desktop and shuts down 
after the original connection exits. So it loses statefulness and the 
ability to share the desktop both remotely and locally.


who can do some work make the  inetd method a statefulness ,so that ,when 
the  user (who disconnected from a desktop)  reconnect to it,he can get the 
desktop which he worked before.


thank a lot
