> Have you checked the inetd log? Might need to turn it on or such. Yes. When I run inetd in debug mode, a good connect & disconnect looks like this:
Sep 9 15:18:25 netfinity inetd: launching: 5900 Sep 9 15:18:25 netfinity inetd: accept: new socket 3 Sep 9 15:18:25 netfinity inetd: pid 24605: exec /usr/local/bin/Xvnc Sep 9 15:18:25 netfinity inetd: uid: 507 gid: 103 Sep 9 15:18:25 netfinity inetd: groups: 103 100 102 Sep 9 15:18:37 netfinity inetd: pid 24605, exit status 0 A problem looks like this: Sep 9 15:18:41 netfinity inetd: launching: 5900 Sep 9 15:18:41 netfinity inetd: accept: new socket 3 Sep 9 15:18:41 netfinity inetd: pid 24626: exec /usr/local/bin/Xvnc Sep 9 15:18:41 netfinity inetd: uid: 507 gid: 103 Sep 9 15:18:41 netfinity inetd: groups: 103 100 102 Sep 9 15:18:41 netfinity inetd[24430]: pid 24626: exit status 1 Sep 9 15:18:41 netfinity inetd: pid 24626, exit status 100 > > I prefer to use 5900.

(just a qurious question ;-) The first session is :2, the second simultaneous connection is :3, and so on. If :2 disconnects, the next connection is :2 again. > You started (if I remember well) with a problem that only > happens when using the AT&T vncviewer.

Try specifying the compression protocol > at both ends. No, that's not it. The problem is present with both AT&T and TightVNC (at both ends). After one of these failed connections, there is no Xvnc program running on the server. I should point out that I have patched Xvnc to automatically start an application, to avoid using xdm.
