Carl,
Do you by chance remember what you had to do to get rid of the gray screen
and get the Xwindows screen to show up on Windows?
Thanks,
Joey

Subject: Using iXvnc
We have been using vnc, for some time, to allow windows users access to
linux machines. Problem is that the linux users start Xvnc use it once,
maybe twice, then forget to terminate the program. Then a few days
latter they start up another Xvnc on another machine. You can see my
problem (I have over 700 potential vnc users)
I saw in the documentation the -inetd option. Followed the
documentation set forth in:
http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/~andre/extern/ixvnc.htm
I've also tried to follow the directions in the various posts in the vnc
archives, in particular the Tue Nov 14 2000 series of emails.
Here is my problem: All I get on the client is the "grey" screen.
I am using version 3.3.3r2
My inetd.conf file contains:
vnc stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query
localhost -once -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16
My services contains:
vnc 5950/tcp # Vnc X Server
The log in /usr/adm shows no error (at least to my eyes):
25/01/01 15:14:13 Xvnc version 3.3.3r2

Several of the archive emails mentions a "script." what is this
script? Where is it supposed to be located?
There was also mention of having kdm running before Xvnc starts. How do
you do that?
Any other hints?!?!?
Thanks for you help.
