I think you start with exchanging the 'Xvnc.5' to 'Xvnc' in the inetd.conf file: use the same binary as in the script file. If you definitly want to call a script from inetd.conf, then be verry sure you read the documentation since inetd does not 'just execute': Stdin, stdout and stderr of the binary must be hooked to the stdin, stdout and stderr of the script. The double name in the inetd.conf file, the first must be a binary, the second is $0. For scripts, the first must be the script-engine (/bin/sh, /usr/local/bin/perl or such), the second the filename of the scipt (which does not need to be executable). Details on this vary between systems. Success CBee _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
