What follows pertains to Solaris 9 but will, I think, port to RHEL without
a lot of work.
It is possible to start VNC through inetd. Starting Xvnc with the
"-inetd -nolisten named -query LOCALHOSTIP" where LOCALHOSTIP is running
xdm (or dtlogin) will let the user authenticate and then start a sess

The problem is an incompatibility between Xvnc 4.x and the xdm supplied
with Solaris 8/9 (maybe 10 also). The solution that worked for me was to
build X11R6 V4.3.0 from source and use its xdm.

This is a problem with the Solaris xdm. The only solution that I know
of is to build a newer version of xdm. I was successful using the
XFree 4.3.0 version.

version of xdm rather than the /usr/openwin/bin
version. I did not rebuild vnc.

The version of xdm that ships with Solaris 8 and 9 is incompatible with
VNC 4. This incompatibility is the reason the VNC window disappears
after connecting and logging in. I was able to get VNC 4.1.1 to work
by downloading the XFree 4.3.0 source, building it and using the xdm
that comes with it.
