Correct me if I'm wrong but as I understand inetd, it works as follows: - inetd gets a call from outside (on port 5950 for example) - inetd re-routes the remote call to a port in it's free range - inetd starts the attached app (`Xvnc -inet`) and connects the stdio of the app to the new port - the app just communicates to it's stdio, not knowing about the connected port. For Xvnc, this requires the -inet option. If you also add the -rfb option, I don't know what Xvnc does: accept both connections or just ignore one of the two. I expect inetd does the session controll: once the connection (on the port in it's free range) is closed, the application is killed. btw: Xvnc -inet does still open a free port for it's X11 communication: the first free port from 6000. This gives the X11 display number. CBee _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
