I want to used Xvnc -inetd to launch a single application (firefox, or firefox plus twm) for each incoming client connect. This is for a cybercafe-like application.
My question is: it is really necessary to go through XDMCP to start the application? Or is there a way to get Xvnc to start the application directly? The latter for would be more lightweight, and also not interfere with my gdm settings which I use for console access (for instance, if I configure gdm to autologin as user 'cybercaf' then I lose my ability to login directly on the console) I can happily run Xvnc directly from xinetd, but without a -query option all I get is a blank window when each client connects. Running Xvnc via xinit doesn't seem to work: $ Xvnc -inetd RFB 003.008 $ xinit /usr/bin/xterm -- /usr/bin/Xvnc -inetd << no response, times out after a few seconds >> which seems to suggest that xinit doesn't pass stdin/stdout onto Xvnc. Any other suggestions as to how I can make this work? Thanks, Brian. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
