Hi, I installed VNC Server on an HP-UX 10.20 workstation. I modified the inetd.conf and services files to reflect the application's settings. After that I restarted the inetd services on the machine.
While I was on the machine, I did a netstat -a and the vnc ports were listening for connections. When I tried to connect to the server from a Windows 2000 machine via the VNCViewer, I got a could not connect to server error message. The UNIX system has telnet disabled but does allow SSH connections. The Windows workstation has an SSH2 client application (QVTNet) loaded on it, and I can connect to HP-UX box using it. I tried connecting with the SSH client and then starting the VNC viewer and entering the FQDN and then the IP address. Neither worked. I am going over the steps to connect to the system using VNC over SSH but I wanted to know if you had any ideas? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: "Beerse, Corni" [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 3:18 AM To: Kaplan, Andrew H. Subject: RE: Problem Running the vncserver script THey look reasnoable, I don't dive into details like dots and commas. I see you use the `sys` account for Xvnc, that's reasonable. ONce you replaced the files, restart inetd (on HP in `/sbin/init.d/inetd stop ; /sbin/init.d/inetd start `). If well configured, inetd does not complain and all goes well, connect to the vncserver with `vncviewre hpux-vnc:53` for a new view to the machine. Do a `netstat -a` on the machine to see the opened ports. CBee -- C.

I thought it would be a good idea if the new configuration was proofread. If it is not too much trouble, I've included the inetd.conf and services.conf files in this e-mail for your perusal. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: "Beerse, Corni" [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 10:04 AM To: Kaplan, Andrew H.

Skip the vncpassword and stuff. Best to setup as on http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp <http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp> . Only need to edit /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf accordingly. Minor details: use user 'sys' instead of 'nobody'. See `man inetd.conf` for details.
