[Fwd: Rejected Connection from client ip.ad.dr.es] - SOLVED!

[ghester]

The problem was with the hosts.allow. It turns out that the 'Rejected 
connection' message is a result of a failed hosts_ctl() call. By adding 
the appropriate entry into the /etc/hosts.allow file fixed the problem. 
To wit:

ALL: 192.168.2.

This allows all computers on my local subnet to connect to any IP 
service on the server.

Thanks anyhow - I knew I'd figure it out five minutes after asking for help.

Cheers! - glh

Sorry fo rthe newbie question - I've spent a couple of hours googling 
for an answer.

I've just setup Mandrake 10.0 (download ed.) as a server, and am 
attempting to setup VNC. I have VNC up and running, but when I cannot 
connect from my Win2K machine running RealVNC viewer. All the log file 
says is:

12/05/04 09:49:09 Rejected connection from client 192.168.2.192

From the Mandrake box, I can run TighVNC viewer and connect.
My newbie mind thinks from all I've read that this has something to do 
with xauth, but that seems to be for authorizing other X applications, 
which the RealVNC viewer is not. Or is it emulating one when connecting 
to *nix?

Thanks in advance..
