Hi all. New subscribers seem to be getting the last week's messages as a
golden handshake, so thanks for the 60 messages about the ethics of
corporate spying, and the 20 moaning about it ;-)
I'm running my vncserver on Redhat 6.0, and after a variable amount of
time, it'll cease accepting connections. It seems from the discussion I've
found in the archives that the server will terminate sessions as well,
though I've not seen it. I've tried the NT client, Java via IE and Netscape
(over Linux) as well as the linux client over Mandrake.
I'm running 3.3.3r1.
The java client error is:
java.net.SocketException: broken pipe (Netscape)
java.net.SocketException: socket mode (?) failed (IE) (I can't read my
writing, I think that's 'mode'!)
The client feedback over Mandrake is:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
VNC authentication succeeded
Desktop name "ben's X desktop (biggerbox.watertower:1)"
Connected to VNC server, using protocol version 3.3
VNC server default format:
0 bits per pixel.
Least significant byte first in each pixel.
True colour: max red 7 green 7 blue 3, shift red 0 green 3 blue 6
Using default colormap which is TrueColor. Pixel format:
32 bits per pixel.
Least significant byte first in each pixel.
True colour: max red 255 green 255 blue 255, shift red 16 green 8 blue 0
Same machine: preferring raw encoding
vncviewer: read: Connection reset by peer
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I've found the problem before in the archives - has a fix or workaround
been determined?

re: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/archives/2000-05/0119.html
has this suggested fix been incorporated into 3.3.3r2? (I'll try it anyway)
re: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/archives/2000-01/0510.html
why would all three clients I've tried request 0 bits, is this a red herring?
Could it be to do with not installing the whole distro, am I missing
something?
have a great noughty-one.
Thanks, Ben.
