Try the next steps: Install the vncviewer rpm from the distro install the vncserver rpm from the distro (but don't use it as documented with redhat) Then use one of the next setups: http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp ... to start a new server on the fly. It is presented for linux which is just an other unix. I bet you only need to adapt the /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf files. To check if it might work: `Xvnc :4 -query localhost`. Details to the /etc/inetd.conf file: - use the path to your Xvnc binary. - add the fontpath (-fp ...) to reflect your local fontpath (`xrdb -q`) http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/ If you use the XFree86 Xserver: gives access to :0 http://www.hexonet.de/software/x0rfbserver/ If your Xserver uses the framebuffer device: gives access to :0 CBee _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
