Somehow I have the impression you are helped with a setup like on http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/ or even better http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp The first (xf4vnc) gives a M$Windows like vncserver on linux: you can take over the console. It uses the vncpassword for root but this can be customized. The second one creates a great multiple vncserver solution for several users at any time: vncservers are started (and stopped) on the fly: as users connect (and stop the viewer). This does not use any vnc passwords (by default) but it uses the unix login as on the console. Both setups don't use the ~/.vnc/xstartup but use the systems default way to start the windowmanager. They can co-exist with the default vnc setup. CBee _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
