The vnc server times out idle connections (no keyboard/mouse input) after a pre-set timeout interval. This interval is, by default, an hour. It can be modified by the Xvnc parameter -IdleTimeout <seconds>. In your case you would have to add it to the xinetd entry starting Xvnc.
Refer to Xvnc man pages for more details. -siva. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arno Schuurs Sent: Monday, October 30, 2006 8:07 AM To: vnc-list@realvnc.com Cc: Marty Kampes Subject: VNC session quits Dear RealVNC, I am new with VNC, so I hope you can help me. I am using the VNC Enterprise 4.2.6 server on a Redhat Enterprise 3 Taroon 5 machine by starting it via xinetd. I am using the viewer on a MS Windows XP system. When I open a VNC session to the Linux system and leave the computer for a while, the VNC session is gone when I come back. Do you have an idea why this happens? Regards / M.v.g.
